Just because there is no enforcement does not mean the federal law does not apply. There are hundreds if not thousands of court cases per year about these kinds of things. All it takes is pissing off the wrong person and even in the lovely state of Alaska you could get slammed for emissions violations.

Al Capone went down on tax evasion, not crime related charges. All it takes is pissing off the wrong person to get the book thrown at you.
I'm not arguing with you here but as a Air Quality Meteorologist who works at a Federal Regulatory agency it pretty near impossible (for an individual) to get slapped with a CAA violation when there is no State agency regulating emissions.
