Brad Granley, P.E., President and Founder
Brad is a licensed professional engineer and the founder and president of CCES. He has 25 years of experience and has helped change the way the solid waste industry looks at leachate management by promoting and implementing innovative treatment systems. His project and professional achievements include saving clients millions of dollars, reducing the carbon footprint of facilities, speaking at national and state technical conferences, and being named a “Community Changemaker” by the National Waste and Recycling Association, and winning a 2022 Innovators Award from MSW Management Magazine. Brad has extensive design, installation, and O&M experience with numerous leachate treatment and soil and groundwater remedial technologies, leading numerous projects from small, simple sites to very complex, multi-million-dollar efforts.
Richard Stoor, P.E., Vice President / Director of Engineering and Field Services
Ric is a licensed professional engineer with 20 years of experience in the solid waste and remediation engineering fields. He specializes in the design of complex treatment systems and also has outstanding field engineering and troubleshooting skills. His ability to adapt on short notice to the variability typical of field work is a valuable strength. Ric has completed many permitting projects (NPDES, POTW, air discharge, solid waste) and risk evaluations, designed and implemented pilot test procedures, and has prepared specifications, plans, and bidding documents for successful system installations. He also is very adept at managing projects through effective communication and planning, and he understands that the true success or failure of a system over time is directly related to the completion of proper O&M activities. This approach minimizes disruptions to system operations and maximizes savings over the life of a project.
Ryan March, Vice President of Innovation and Expansion
Ryan’s mission is to make landfill and wastewater operations better, and he has the determination and ability to make that happen. He has built a career developing companies and technologies with a focus on sustainability and improved performance. His client cost savings over 22 years have resulted in more than a billion dollars for operational and maintenance improvements. His FlowScience Advanced Liquids Treatment Technologies benefit carbonite and leachate scale formations on pipes and surfaces through electromagnetic, vibrative pulse that doesn’t allow hard calcium deposits to form. Predictable results and guaranteed. The technology also solves the new sticky problem known as black goo.
He is now excited to be a part of the LMS team to help expand the use of green technologies in the solid waste industry to simply “Do Leachate Better!” Whether your goals are to manage PFAS, lower costs, prevent being cut off from a WWTP, or just reduce your carbon footprint, Ryan has an uncanny ability to help clients work through their site-specific issues and find the most innovative and cost-effective solution for their needs.
Aaron Gilman, Vice President of Client Solutions
Aaron Gilman has been enticed out of retirement to join LMS where he will help make a difference in the solid waste industry by bringing sustainable and cost-effective solutions to landfills across the country. Although he had fun opening and operating a brewery in Virginia, skiing across the country, and volunteering in numerous capacities in his community, his passion is solving problems in solid waste and LMS is ecstatic to have him on our team.
With over three decades of landfill/environmental pollution control and remediation experience, Aaron stands out as a seasoned professional in landfill facility construction, operations, and repair. He is a veteran that served as an aircraft mechanic while in the Air Force. His years of landfill experience prepared him to handle nearly any landfill issues including leachate infrastructure construction, major overhaul/repair projects, and gas collection systems. His expertise extends to solid waste facility permitting, construction, operations, and he has developed numerous landfill odor control projects. His experience with polyethylene (PE) pipe fusion, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe installation, and the setup of condensate/leachate containment and collection facilities provides years of solutions and problem solving for the landfill industry. Aaron’s hands-on approach in project estimation and execution demonstrates his commitment to creating cost-effective and sustainable solutions.
Eric Wiediger, Senior Project Manager
Eric has more than 18 years of experience in private and public sectors related to solid waste, leachate, and environmental projects. Managing plant-based treatment and disposal systems requires a unique set of skills and knowledge, and whether he’s digging in the soil to assess agronomic health, maintaining equipment and piping, or back in the office writing a report, Eric’s dedication and flexibility has kept our systems operating well and projects successful. His attention to detail and analytical reasoning helps our team evaluate feasibility, data and performance trends, and strategies. Eric started off his environmental career as a Peace Corps volunteer in Mongolia, then became specialized in solid waste permitting and regulatory compliance over 8 years with the PA DEP, leading hundreds of inspections and investigations, and eventually overseeing the enforcement division. He also holds a master’s degree in Public Health and a master’s certificate in Agronomy.
