Kenneth Raven is President of Intera Engineering Ltd. with 34 years of research and consulting experience related to geologic and hydrogeologic site characterization, environmental site assessment (ESA), site remediation, environmental risk assessment, and mine site hydrogeology. He is a registered professional engineer and professional geoscientist in the Province of Ontario. As a recognized expert in contaminant hydrogeology in porous and fractured media, Mr. Raven has been active in most major national and international radioactive waste disposal programs for low, intermediate and high level waste in Europe and North America. Starting in the mid 1970s as a research hydrogeologist in the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) Canadian Nuclear Fuel Management Program, Mr. Raven has subsequently completed major studies for Ontario Hydro, AECL and the federal Ministerial Siting Task Force. Mr. Raven is currently managing the Nuclear Waste Management Organization’s geoscientific characterization program of the Bruce site for storage of low and intermediate level radioactive wastes in a deep geologic repository. Mr. Raven has completed ESAs at over 500 sites contaminated by heavy metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, coal tar and chlorinated solvents, for clients ranging from individual property owners to federal departments to major petroleum companies. Mr. Raven also has extensive experience in evaluating remedial options and preparation of risk assessments for contaminated sites, including the development of a Remediation Program Plan for LeBreton Flats for the National Capital Commission; remedial investigations of important regional bedrock aquifers contaminated by chlorinated solvents for the Ontario Ministry of the Environment; and turn-key site remediation and site-specific risk assessment of a former coal gasification plant for the City of Kingston. Throughout his career, Mr. Raven has also applied his hydrogeological expertise to the resolution of complex problems of groundwater contamination at mine sites in Canada’s north. Mr. Raven has participated in or chaired a number of independent peer review panels for Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, including those related to Giant Mine and the management of arsenic trioxide dust in the near surface. He has authored over 40 peer reviewed journal and conference papers on hydrogeological characterization and assessment of radioactive waste management sites.
