Ken Korman has over 20 years of consulting experience in geotechnical and environmental engineering. He has been with Story Environmental Inc. for 7 years. His educational background consists of a B.Sc. from the University of Manitoba in Geological Engineering and a B. Ed. in Education from Nipissing University. He has also had the opportunity to attend courses and conferences related to risk communication; groundwater modelling; solid waste management; waste diversion strategies and water treatment system operation.
Ken has assessed and managed hundreds of environmental projects throughout Ontario and western Canada (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia). The projects included Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments, Compliance Monitoring, and Phase III Remediation. He has extensive experience relating to soil, groundwater, and surface water investigations, remediation, and management, as well as operation and management of landfills. He has used his combined hydrogeological and geotechnical knowledge to assess and design methods to reduce infiltration and inflow into sanitary sewers which commonly contribute to high flows within sewage treatment plants. |

Anthony Story's technical expertise is in hydrology and watershed management and he has 9 years of consulting and academic geosciences employment experience. His educational background consists of a B.Sc. from Trent University with Majors in Geography and Environmental & Resource Science, a M.Sc. in Geography from the University of British Columbia, a M.A from the University of Toronto. He has participated in conferences and courses related to environmental engineering, statistical analysis, and water treatment system operation.
Anthony has considerable experience with the collection of water samples (surface, ground and potable) and interpretation of the associated analytic results. His experience allows him to identify anomalies which occur while sampling. He can addresses any difficulties encountered with field equipment, including purging analytical equipment in the field, making the sampling program effective. His extensive experience in hydrology and data interpretation allows him to effectively and efficiently manage and interpret groundwater and surface water data. His interest in statistical analysis allows him to identify trends while conducting inter and intra-well comparisons at monitoring sites which is of significant benefit to the final interpretation of the data. |
