Ryan Kuntz has nearly two decades of solid waste engineering and consulting experience, and serves as a design engineer for many types of projects ranging from regulatory permitting and design of landfills(active and closed), coal combustion residual (CCR) facilities, landfill gas (LFG) collection and control systems, LFG transmission pipelines, leachate collection and control systems, landfill liner and cover systems, landfill development plans, and surface water management systems. He has served as Professional of Record on over 25 landfill liner and/or final cover construction quality assurance (CQA) projects and over 25 gas collection and control system (GCCS) CQA projects. He has prepared over 40 construction plans, technical specifications, and bid packages for landfill liner/final cover and GCCS projects combined. Though most of his experience has been with Texas solid waste projects, Mr. Kuntz has also worked on landfill projects in Oklahoma, Arizona, New Mexico, and Louisiana.
Mr. Kuntz’s municipal solid waste (MSW) responsibilities have included Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance (HELP) modeling to evaluate leachate generation; hydraulic and hydrologic analysis of landfill drainage systems using such software as Hydrologic Engineering Center’s Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS); preparation of storm water pollution prevention plans (SWP3s) and spill prevention, containment, and countermeasure plans (SPCCs) for wide range of facilities; waste and soil ballast analysis; landfill sequencing; development of construction plans and specifications for liner construction, drainage, New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) and Title V Permits, design of landfill gas collection systems and LFG transmission pipelines (from concept through construction plans and specifications), landfill gas modeling, and LFG collection systems and transmission pipelines; construction-phase services; certifying engineer for construction quality assurance (CQA).
