Lily Wells has 25 years of transportation/air quality experience in the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria Nonattainment Area. Her expertise includes maritime and ground transportation emission studies, regional emissions assessments, and research on emission reduction technologies and operational practices including ITS and policy options. Ms. Wells is a native Houstonian. She is passionate about key environmental successes in the region that have occurred amidst the rapid growth of the city. Key success stories include regional air quality improvements resulting from the TexAQS study of highly reactive VOC emissions. That study resulted in changes to emissions characteristics for the region’s petrochemical industry, which led the region from a severe nonattainment area to moderate. Growing up in Houston, we never saw brown pelicans. Today brown pelicans can be seen all along the Gulf coast and in the Houston Ship Channel as a result of banning DDT. It is environmental successes like these that keep Ms. Wells searching for opportunities to improve the environment while fostering economic growth.
In addition to managing our Air Division, Lily also spearheads SNM2R’s Clean Water Act, Water quality permitting, coordination compliance and reporting. The Clean Water Act (CWA) establishes regulatory requirements applicable to discharges of pollutants to “waters of the U.S.” Statutory requirements include the need for discharge permits, and associated sampling and monitoring. Lily is responsible for successful coordination and consultation for a long list of NPDES Water Quality Permit “new permit application” and “renewal applications” client. These NPDES Permits are a license for facilities to discharge a specified amount of a pollutant into receiving water under certain conditions. Obtaining this permit can be an arduous process because facilities must comply with environmental regulations from multiple agencies. SNM2R assists with water permitting and compliance. Under Lily’s supervision, our water permitting consulting services are designed to assist facilities in accordance with applicable rules and regulations. Lily’s expertise helps streamline the application and permitting process by analyzing your facility and determining which permit is best suited for you.
Furthermore, Lily is involved in all functions from marketing, procurement, and technical reporting for this full-service consulting engineering firm, providing environmental compliance, permitting, inspection, and quality assurance. In her current role Lily is geared to provide environmental compliance assistance to all sectors, including local, state and federal governments, individuals, businesses and corporations.
