He oversees all aspects of landfill projects and the implementation/utilization of processes and systems – responsible for project forecasting, tracking/management of budgets and completion within established time lines. He recommends preventive maintenance practices and identifies opportunities for improvement on project processes and design standards.

Mr. Nytra assists solid waste operators with enforcement/management of regulatory compliance including LFG projects, permit filings, data collection, air permit management, landfill design, document preparation, and CQA.  He regularly interfaces with landfill engineering, management and construction personnel to ensure completion of projects and compliance with regulatory agencies.

As an Area Environmental Manager for Republic Services, he was responsible for active and closed Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) landfill regulatory permitting & compliance with all state and local environmental rules & regulations for landfills in Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, Niagara Falls, West Virginia and Kentucky.

He monitored operational performance vs. projected budgets. Tracked revenue vs. costs of various operational metrics (i.e. leachate water treatment & disposal and landfill gas expansion) – identified areas of deficiency and formulated operational plans on how to alleviate negative cash flow. He interacted with State regulatory agencies, Pennsylvania DEP, Allegheny County Health Department, local township municipalities, zoning commissioners, engineering and construction firms, and local residents for promoting goodwill within the community while minimizing grievances.
