Mr. Walter is Certifications knowledgeable in federal, provincial, and municipal environmental regulations and Nova Scotia Advanced guidelines applicable to Atlantic Canada, and works closely with all necessary Wetlands Delineator and regulatory agencies to facilitate project implementation. As senior project manager, Evaluator Mr. Walter ensures biophysical field programs are tailored to the needs of the client and project, while meeting regulatory standards. Mr. Walter has provided Memberships environmental support to the planning process in a wide range of project types Nova Scotia Wetlands including residential development, industrial projects (mining, pit and quarry), Delineation, Maritime transmission line and hydro dam infrastructure and highway construction to name a College of Forest few. Mr. Walter has managed the environmental processes associated with multiple Technology wind energy developments in Nova Scotia, including compilation of provincial environmental assessment (EA) documents, and implementation of associated EA biophysical field surveys, as well as acquiring pertinent environmental information Education required for regulatory permitting. • BSc. (Horticulture), Essex University (UK), As a trained field biologist, Mr. Walter has completed terrestrial and stream habitat 2003-2005 assessments, and flora and fauna surveys, including desktop reviews and characterization of biophysical environments. Mr. Walter also completes numerous fish habitat/watercourse assessments for effects monitoring, watercourse alteration, Training and HADD authorization projects. Assessments have also included water quality • Wetland Functional sampling, benthic sampling, and biophysical characterization (channel depth and Assessment Training width, stream velocity, fish habitat assessment) of water bodies. Workshop, NSE 2013 • Urban Wetland As a qualified wetland delineator and wetland function evaluator for Atlantic Canada, Restoration: A Andy has completed delineation of hundreds of wetlands. Projects often involve the Watershed Approach, completion of species at risk assessments, functions assessments, and detailed wetland 2012 characterization in support of provincial wetland alteration applications.
