Frank C. Colozza Principal and Senior Hydrogeologist
JFM Environmental Limited

Mr. Colozza is a licensed Professional Geoscientist (P.Geo.) and a Qualified Person (Q.P.) under Ontario Regulation 153/04. He is also a founding partner of JFM Environmental Limited. He has been responsible for the development, design and implementation of multi-discipline (i.e. hydrogeology, geochemistry and engineering) environmental projects at contaminated and hazardous sites throughout Ontario and certain areas of Quebec. Mr. Colozza has conducted large scale hydrogeological studies associated with groundwater impact from contaminant releases in fractured rock.

Mr. Colozza has conducted hundreds of Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) of commercial, industrial, institutional and residential properties. The work was undertaken on behalf of both private and public sector clients at locations throughout Ontario and Quebec.

These assessments were of a qualitative (Phase I) and/or a quantitative (Phase II) nature. In all cases, the assessments focused on the environmental condition of the real property (i.e. in terms of solid/hazardous waste management, fuel/chemical storage, soil/groundwater contamination, air emissions, underground storage tanks, asbestos, PCB, UFFI, etc., as applicable). Some assignments also consisted of assessing the environmental risk posed by existing and/or historical operations to the environmental condition of the sites, surrounding properties and/or other sensitive receptors (i.e. ecological and human). His work with land development firms has included the hydrogeological assessment of wetland complexes. One assignment consisted of assessing the soil and groundwater regimes of a meadow marsh that was moved to allow the continuation of a planned residential development.

Mr. Colozza has also provided expert witness testimony in trial litigation and at the Ontario Municipal Board. He recently received a Lieutenant Governor's Appointment to the APGO Council.
