CANTON <br />(Sealor Aquadc Ecologist) <br />EDUCATION <br />B.A. Biology (with Honors), Saint Olaf College, 1975. <br />M.S. Zoology (Specialization in Limaology), Colorado State University, 1976. Thesis title: <br />Cool Mine Drainage icjJecis on Matrobenlhos of Trout Creek, Colorado. <br />PROFESSIONAL <br />1980-Present Vlce-Presldeut, Seolor Aquadc Eeologlst, Chadwick & Assoclata, Inc., Denver, <br />Colorado. Duties include design of aquatic sampling programs, supervision of aquatic <br />biological laboratory, field sampling of a variety of aquatic habitats, identification of <br />biological samples, ffIM data analysis, statistical analysis and report preparation. <br />Projects have included work in s number of atatea ouch as Colorado, 1Vyoming, Idaho, <br />Montana, Wisconsin, Nevada, Missouri, Kentucky, California, Nebraska, Minnesota, <br />North Dakota, Texan and Tennessee. Examples of representative projects are listed <br />below. <br />- Uae attainability analysis for stream classification of Fountain Creek, Colorado. <br />Included use of the Rapid Bioassessment Protocols and the Index of Biotic Integrity <br />to determine possible effects of point source pollution. <br />- Afterbay for a hydro plant is the Notth Platte River in Western Nebraska. <br />Analyzed water quality, fish and invertebrate data collected during as intensive study <br />of the effect of hydropower release on aquatic life of a receiving lake stream system. <br />- Municipal reservoir in central Colorado. Assisted in the design, implementation, <br />data analysis and report preparation for en intensive biological sampling program <br />including sampling of phytoplaakton and monitoring of beathic invertebrates of the <br />reservoir and a nearby stream. <br />- Habitat preference study Platte River, Nebraska. Determined habitat preference <br />for game sad forage fish in the Platte River. Assisted with study deesign, sampling <br />timetable and protocol, determining equipment and personnel, data analysis and report <br />writing. <br />- Instream habitat assessment on upper South Platte River, Colorado. Assisted with <br />study design, IFIM data analysis, development of time series habitat information and <br />recommending mitigation flows for project operations. <br />- Instream habitat modeling at 20 sites is the Platte River System, Nebraska. <br />Included reanalysis of existing ffIM data incorporating new hydraulic parameters, and <br />new habitat suitability information. <br />- Stream habitat improvement in the Snake River, Colorado. Determined saimonid <br />habitat limitations, and implemented instream habitat eahancemeat including; strategic <br />boulder placements, boulder dams and pool formation. <br />- Biological survey of over 40 mainstream stations and tributaries for the South Platte <br />River, the North Fork South Platte River, and the Williams Fork River in central <br />Colorado. Collected and processed invertebrate samples and assisted in field collections <br />of fish populations, <br />- Minimum flow determinations below proposed hydropower pleats in northeastern <br />Utah. Designed and implemented IFIM habitat modelling to address minimum flow <br />recommendations. <br />APPENDIX A CONTINUED <br />
