Compliance by enterprises with provisions of the Environment Quality Act (chapter Q-2) and the regulations thereunder, as well as with orders, approvals and authorizations issued under that Act must be a criterion in the preparation and administration of the programs of the agency and may be a criterion for the payment of all or part of the sums of money to which those programs give entitlement.
