Ayres’ Development Services Division has hired three senior environmental consultants to bring depth to our growing assessment, permitting, engineering, and remediation services across the nation. Each has decades of professional experience and solid connections to public and private sector partners in the regions they serve.

In Colorado: Stephen Lombardo, PG, has joined the Development Services Division with over three decades of professional consulting experience, including environmental site assessments (ESAs), solid and hazardous waste landfill remediation investigations, and environmental audits and insurance claim support. He is a geologist, an experienced project manager, and a team builder.

Lombardo’s extensive experience includes the design and implementation of hydrogeological investigations, including extensive field testing and data analysis and providing solutions to properly manage releases of hazardous substances to the environment. His project experience includes managing a complex Superfund site, remediating and monitoring solid waste landfills, and achieving No Further Remediation (NFR) status for various contaminated sites.

Lombardo is responsible for providing expertise, input, and mentoring to staff working on environmental assessment, remediation, and compliance work, including brownfield, permitting, and solid waste management projects. He is based in Fort Collins.

“Steve has served clients on some large, complicated environmental remediation and monitoring projects,” says Christina Hiegel, PE, regional manager of development services. “Our clients can rest assured that he’s seen it all and can expertly help them navigate their way to success on ESAs, brownfield remediation, and everything in between.”

Lombardo is a licensed professional geologist in Illinois, Indiana, and Alaska and is a Colorado recognized environmental professional. He holds a master’s degree in earth science/hydrogeology and a bachelor’s degree in earth science – both from Northeastern Illinois University.

In Florida: Dylan Morgan, PG, brings over three decades of professional experience as a geologist and environmental project manager. He applies innovative and collaborative energy to commercial, industrial, and other types of projects where permitting and remediation are needed.

Morgan is responsible for providing expertise, input, and mentoring to staff working on environmental assessment, remediation, and compliance work, including brownfield, permitting, and solid waste management projects. His experience includes environmental compliance in the oil, gas, and mining industries, including guiding spill responses. Morgan is responsible for developing and overseeing spill prevention, control, and countermeasure (SPCC) plans and stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP).

Morgan’s previous experience includes decades in the professional consulting business, as well as employment with energy and online retail companies. He has presented and published works on oil and gas assets, insurance risk, environmental site assessments, and storage tanks.

“Dylan’s attention to detail and technical skills are always finding ways to move big projects over significant hurdles,” Hiegel says. “He is well regarded in his field, and Ayres and our clients are fortunate to have him on our team.”

Based in Florida for his entire career, Morgan is a registered professional geologist in Florida and Georgia. He holds a bachelor’s degree in geology from Vanderbilt University.

In Wisconsin: David Sipple, PE, offers well over two decades of environmental engineering experience. He understands the perspective of the private sector, where he was previously employed, and has solid, longstanding relationships with the regulators and consultants with whom he has collaborated over the years.

As a senior environmental engineer and project manager, technical lead, and regulatory liaison, Sipple has successfully led high-profile environmental projects involving investigation, risk assessment, sediment discharge reduction, SWPPPs, SPCC plans, emission compliance, waste site compliance, demolition, and remediation. David also has designed transmission line projects for compliance with the National Electric Safety Code (NESC) and the Public Service Commission (PSC) Code.

Sipple’s responsibilities include providing technical guidance on environmental projects; coordinating with regulatory agencies; and providing environmental site assessments (ESAs) and various permitting, design, and construction phase assistance for a wide range of environmental engineering services, including for solid waste projects.

“Respect and professionalism are among David’s trademarks,” says Keely Campbell, PG, regional manager of development services. “David brings his experience orchestrating sustainability, teamwork, and fiscal responsibility. Our clients can trust he’ll harmonize environmental quality with development and budgetary considerations.”

Sipple, based in Green Bay, is a registered professional engineer in Wisconsin. He holds a bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering from Michigan Technological University.
