Lesair has been a leader within the environmental regulatory industry since 2000.  Founder, Ty Smith, has more than 30 years of experience in the oil and gas industry working on both the production and regulatory enforcement sides of the business.  Prior to Lesair, Ty worked for Conoco, and Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality.  At the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, Ty was instrumental in establishing State air quality standards for the oil and gas industry.  His work in developing the State’s comprehensive air permitting program has become the gold standard that other states use to model their air programs.  Also a firm believer in technology, Ty has been a leader in establishing the use of software, such as ProMax, to model emissions as part of the oil and gas air permitting process.  Ty lobbied the State of Wyoming to accept the use of modeled emissions as part of the permit application process.  At the time, modeling had not been widely accepted by the regulatory community.  Due to Ty’s diligence and efforts, ProMax modeling results are now written into State standards as a part of the air permit application process.  Under Ty’s leadership and direction,  Lesair has provided consulting services to companies around the country for over a decade, creating cost-effective and efficient  programs to comply with State and Federal regulatory requirements . Ty provides every client with a commitment to provide innovative solutions to their regulatory challenges, to communicate compliance requirements and project status, and to work with State and Federal agencies on their behalf to ensure that all regulatory requirements are completely addressed.
