      (a) The location, character or extent of particular concentrations of population or sources of air contaminant;

      (b) Geographic, topographic or meteorological considerations; or

      (c) Any combination of these factors,

Ê makes impracticable the maintenance of appropriate levels of air quality without an areawide air pollution control program, it shall after a public hearing define the area so affected.
