Capsule Resume
Barry is a Senior Biologist at LGL with over 16 years of experience in environmental inventory, monitoring, assessment and restoration. With a background in Fisheries Biology, projects involving fish habitat and aquatic resources have formed the core of Barry’s experience. However, in roles such as biological component lead or project manager, Barry has coordinated and participated in numerous multidisciplinary efforts including aspects of hydrology, hydrogeology, fluvial geomorphology, botany, wildlife biology, environmental quality and risk assessment. As these projects were undertaken in the context of land development, infrastructure maintenance and development, power generation, resource extraction and contaminated sites remediation, Barry is comfortable with adjusting study approaches to meet a range of technical, regulatory and stakeholder objectives.
Barry’s project experience includes involvement in numerous ecological risk assessments completed for clients such as TransCanada Pipelines, Canadian Pacific Railway and Irving Oil. He was involved in several large environmental assessments carried out under CEAA, including nuclear power and waste management projects at the Darlington, Pickering and Bruce Nuclear Generating Stations, as well as assessment of a greenfield site on Lake Erie for a proposed nuclear development. His international EIA/SEIA experience includes mining projects in Colombia, Brazil, Tanzania and Russia, a power project in Bangladesh, and monitoring and peer review of an international airport development in Quito, Ecuador. Closer to home, Barry has been involved in numerous Class EA projects of varying complexity, involving both terrestrial and aquatic habitats. His involvement on these projects necessitated coordination and integration of specialist support to address specific pathways of effect of each project and the unique set of ecological receptors at each site. He worked to integrate client and regulatory objectives, with input to development of mitigation measures and design improvements to conserve ecological resources and facilitate regulatory approval. |
