Eng., Clarkson University, Potsdam NY. Relevant Experience Dr. Booty has led a team of scientists at Environment Canada over the last 24 years in the development of a wide range of watershed and lake models within a decision support system framework, with specific focus on water quality issues. These range from examining the impacts of pulp and paper, mining, oil and gas, municipal, and agricultural effluents, as well as atmospheric deposition and climate change impacts on stream and lake water quality across Canada and around the world. He was the lead scientist in the development of the Great Lakes Toxic Chemical Decision Support System that was adopted by the US EPA. He was also the lead scientist in the development of the river models component of ChemSim as well as the Integrated Lakes

Modelling System (ILMS) that supported the Department’s CEPA program by providing the Risk Assessment Directorate with modelling technology that has helped to evaluate over 25,000 chemicals. He led a project called the Integrated Ecosystem Effects Modelling for NREI that involved the assessment of nutrient and water quality issues for the Peace and Athabasca River Basins using the RAISON for Windows decisions support system that was developed by his group at NWRI. Dr. Booty was also the study leader for the Environmental Effects Monitoring (EEM) Decision Support System project that was developed for the National EEM office. In 1997 he acted as a consultant for the World Bank to design projects with the Vice Ministry of Mining and Mettalurgy, Corporacion Minera de Bolivia (COMIBOL), and the National Geological and Mining Service (SERGEOMIN) in Bolivia to implement decision support systems to assist in environmental permitting of new and existing mining operations, cost-effective mitigation and reclamation investments, and environmental risk assessments.

Research Interests and Experience Water quality and aquatic ecosystem health, specialising in assessment of inputs of nitrogen, phosphorus and oxygen-consuming material on water quality of lakes and rivers and aquatic plant production. Research has encompassed: • assessment of nutrient loading from agricultural activities and its effects on stream

water quality; • investigation of effects of land use change on the health of stream ecosystems; • analysis of the impact of pulp mill effluent on water quality of northern rivers; • examination of factors controlling the abundance and composition of aquatic plant

communities; • study of the impact of municipal sewage effluent loading on water quality.

Acting Manager, Science Integration (Environment Canada, Science and Technology Integration Division, July 1, 2011 – April 29th, 2012) • Manage planning, and human and financial resources to ensure that the air quality and

climate change science advisory team can provide coordinated, timely, credible and relevant information to Canadians and decision-makers about the human and environmental impacts of current and future levels of atmospheric pollutants through scientific advice and assessment. This has required the development of work plans, budgets and briefing materials for senior management and implementation of the work force adjustment process.

Senior Science Advisor for Mercury (Environment Canada, Atmospheric Science Assessment and Integration, March, 2007 with assignments in between until present) • Led the development and management of a national, multi-disciplinary and

extensively partnered mercury science program designed to provide scientific information needed to support both domestic and international policy and regulatory development and effectiveness evaluation (i.e., Clean Air Regulatory Agenda (CARA) and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Global Mercury Programme). The development of this program is described in a peer-reviewed scientific journal article (see Appendix) and the results will be reported in the first Canadian Mercury Science Assessment.


• Leading the development of the first Canadian Mercury Science Assessment and its companion document for policy-makers which will describe the state of the Canadian environment with respect to mercury pollution; evaluate the effectiveness of past and current regulatory activities; and, project the likely effects of proposed regulatory actions and climate change. To date, this process has involved leadership of four workshops attended by ~50 researchers from across Canada to develop the table of contents, science-policy questions, work plans and detailed chapter outlines. These workshops were also designed to foster networking opportunities, enthusiasm and a sense of community that are necessary to produce a coordinated national science program and an assessment.

its companion document, the Summary of Key Results, that describe the state of knowledge in Canada regarding acid deposition levels and effects for scientists and policy-makers. The conclusions of this assessment became the basis of the CCME National Acid Rain Science Plan and contributed to the science rational for the Clean Air Regulatory Agenda and the initiation of negotiations of a PM Annex under the Canada-U.S. Air Quality Agreement (AQA).

• As Secretariat of Sub-Committee 2 of the Canada-U.S. Air Quality Committee, led the development of a complete draft of the Transboundary Particulate Matter Science Assessment, the bi-national science foundation for potentially pursuing a PM Annex under the Canada-U.S. AQA; and, facilitated the production and reporting of science as it pertains to transboundary flows of pollution to stakeholders and senior management.
