Features

One platform. Three coordinated views.

LSARS is designed to take a contested industrial or data-center project and make the same numbers visible to everyone with a stake in it. Developers run the modeling and produce a complete record. Officials read a regulator-grade briefing and a commission-ready Community Impact Brief. Communities see a public scoreboard with the same data. Same source of truth, purpose-built surfaces for each audience.

What LSARS does

Independent permitting analysis, designed to hold up before, during, and after the vote.

A typical large project carries an air permit application, a Health Risk Assessment, a generator fleet specification, a zone-of-impact map, a NSR or Title V applicability analysis, a BACT review, a community-benefit commitment package, and a public hearing. LSARS unifies that work into a single workspace where the same data feeds every artifact.

The applicant configures the project once. The platform generates the regulator-grade record, the council briefing, the Community Impact Brief, and the community-facing dashboard from the same model. The methods are published EPA AirToxScreen and California OEHHA. Nobody is reading a different version.

The three feature pages below show what each audience sees. Pick the one that matches your role.

New: Community Impact Brief

Turn community concern into a clear, commission-ready impact brief.

The Community Impact Brief turns complex permit data into one public-friendly project story: benefits, risks, open questions, and next steps.

Workforce, education, jobs, and community commitments

Plain-language health and safety context

Water, power, utility, and ratepayer questions

Noise, truck traffic, fan hum, and quality-of-life concerns

Known facts separated from open data questions

Community Conversation Preview connected to Public Discourse

Why independence matters

The applicant funds the analysis. Everyone reads the same scoreboard.

The methods are published by the EPA and the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment. No party can quietly alter the numbers. The applicant, the council, and the community read identical reports on the same day. That is what trust looks like in practice.
