His project experience includes the successful completion of baseline sampling programs, environmental impact assessments and environmental effects monitoring programs. Mr. Bechtold has also developed discharge limits for De Beers Canada Inc. and Diavik Diamond Mines Inc., as well as total loading management targets for both the City of Calgary and the City of Edmonton, all with a focus on protecting aquatic life in the receiving environment.

Mr. Bechtold was involved in the Shell Jackpine Mine – Phase 1 public hearings. He was also a member of the Suncor panel that appeared before the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board at the recent Suncor Voyageur public hearings, and he has appeared before the Alberta Environmental Appeals Board as an expert witness.

Project involved using a combination of computer models to accurately assess potential changes to water quality in the Muskeg River and Athabasca River drainage basins. Both local and cumulative effects were considered. Duties included: • working with other members of the interdisciplinary impact assessment team to ensure an efficient flow of information between components, • presenting the EIA approach and results to stakeholders, including industry, government and other interested parties, • responding to supplemental questions submitted by Alberta Environment and other stakeholders, and • preparing for and participating in the public hearings conducted by the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB).

Fort Hills Oil Sands Project Alberta, Canada Water quality component lead responsible for assessing potential surface water quality impacts resulting from the development of TrueNorth Energy Inc.’s Fort Hills Oil Sands Project.

Role included participating in the development of the sampling program, producing the supporting sampling procedures and technical documentation, analyzing the results and producing the relevant sections of the annual report, as well as the relevant sections of the Five-Year RAMP Summary Report.

Waste Load Allocation Alberta, Canada Examined potential changes in water quality in the Athabasca River under various hypothetical water release scenarios involving an oil sands mine in Northern Alberta. Modelling results were used to develop discharge limits, where appropriate.

Medicine Hat Wastewater Treatment Plant Alberta, Canada Used Alberta Environmental Protection’s WL Screen model to examine chlorine, phosphorus, ammonia and total nitrogen concentrations in the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP)’s effluent and in the South Saskatchewan River downstream of the WWTP. These levels were compared to the appropriate in-stream guidelines and recommendations for further action were presented. CURRICULUM VITAE
