Presented with the Matthew S. Devito Award by the Source Evaluation Society in 2013 for “exemplifying the highest levels of quality, integrity and safety”. Designed and managed several hundred large complex source testing projects for the following industries: mining, oil and gas refining, oil sands processing, chemical manufacturing, metals smelting, forest products, wool and string fiberglas manufacturing, energy from waste, and power production. Led large sampling campaigns in the United States in 2011 and 2012 in support of the U.S. EPA’s Section 114 Information Collection Request (ICR). LEHDER was the only Canadian source testing firm involved in this program. Prepared and provided training programs for environmental professionals from the Central Pollution Control Board in India. These training programs involved in-class lectures and hands-on instruction at industrial facilities in Sarnia and Delhi India. Conducted classroom and field training in stack sampling methods and techniques through the Centre for Advanced Process Technology (CAPT) at Lambton College in Sarnia and for Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. Accompanied Ontario Premier Dalton McGinty as a delegate of the 2009 Clean Tech Mission to India. The mission involved meetings with Indian companies and regulatory agencies located in Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad. Show less
