	John Sferrazza
	Director - Environmental Applications Group
	Sir Sandford Fleming College and Laurentian University - Fish & Wildlife Biology and Aquatic Ecology
	27+ years of providing Environmental Consulting services to Industry, Municipal and Commercial Enterprises.

Mr. Sferrazza has been providing environmental consulting services to industry, municipalities and commercial enterprises for over 27 years. His expertise lies mainly in the area of impact assessments; environmental effects monitoring, study design preparation and baseline environmental assessments. John studied fish and wildlife biology and aquatic ecology at Sir Sandford Fleming College and Laurentian University. Much of John’s project experience is directly related to impact assessments of riverine and lacustrine environments, which he has gained through his involvement in numerous studies and projects of this nature at the technical, coordinator and senior management levels. In addition, John is an experienced fisheries biologist and senior project manager at EAG with a vast amount of experience in environmental impact study design and implementation at metal mining, pulp and paper, petrochemical and other industrial sites, making him a valuable asset to the EAG team.

John has also been involved in the development of aquatic environmental effects protocols for the mining and pulp and paper industries and has been involved in many studies to determine the effects of point and non-point sources of contamination on riverine and off shore lake environments. John has also been involved in the development of laboratory acute and sub-lethal toxicity testing protocols for contaminated sediments and industrial effluents. John is well known for his pragmatism and for ensuring that environmental effects studies are conducted with scientific defensibility and practicality in mind, that all aspects of the project, including field studies are done with consideration given to site constraints and history and that all samples taken are representative of the site. John also has a wealth of experience in environmental permitting and has a thorough knowledge of all environmental regulations at the federal, provincial and municipal levels. John is also experienced at liaising with regulatory officials so that the best interests of the client are always at the forefront.
