  3. Robert R. Tyson - Municipalities

Profile

Bob is an environmental and energy attorney who assists municipal, industrial, commercial, and institutional clients to resolve New York State and federal regulatory compliance and enforcement concerns.

He counsels municipal clients regarding site development and environmental reviews under the State Environmental Quality Review Act, issues relating to solid waste landfill siting and closure, petroleum and chemical substance issues, including remediation, safety and health issues and environmental litigation matters.

Bob regularly provides advice on the legal and financial structure of brownfield redevelopment projects, and works with clients to return contaminated properties to productive use under the Brownfield Cleanup Program. He represents clients under the Voluntary Cleanup Program, as well as the State Superfund Program, and frequently speaks to organizations regarding the New York State Brownfield Law. Bob also counsels clients regarding air pollution compliance requirements, such as permitting and new source review, and compliance with the federal Clean Air Act. He has negotiated numerous administrative orders on consent to resolve alleged environmental violations, including orders with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Aviation Administration, and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. Bob has also structured voluntary disclosures of environmental violations under state and federal audit policies to avoid and/or mitigate the imposition of administrative penalties.

Bob assists clients with matters involving the siting of new electric generating facilities, electric and natural gas transmission facilities, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission licensing issues, and negotiation of electricity, steam and natural gas purchase agreements. He practices extensively before the New York State Public Service Commission.
