Dr. Douglas J. Hallett, PhD., President
Dr. Hallett left cancer research in 1972 to pursue a career in environmental toxic chemicals with the federal government of Canada. He left the government in 1986 as Chairman of the Great Lakes Toxic Chemical program with an international reputation as a leading expert in Dioxins and PCBs, as a regulator who discovered and dealt with tough problems such as the Niagara River and the St. Clair River, and who was well known to Dow, Occidental, Uniroyal, Texaco, Exxon, Monsanto, and most pulp and paper manufacturers. He was recognized with awards from the United Nations, Canada, Ontario and many professional organizations, as well as McMaster University. He founded ELI Eco Logic Inc. (Eco Logic) in 1986, developing a successful international consulting practice, an organic chemical analytic laboratory and patented processes involving gas phase hydrogen reduction. The company successfully developed several of these processes to destroy most of the available PCBs on the continent of Australia, for GM Canada Ltd., and the City of St. Catharines, Ontario. The process was demonstrated for the United States Army to destroy VX Nerve Agent, Mustard, explosive residue and contaminated dunnage. Dr. Hallett has successfully appeared in US, Canadian and European courts on over 100 occasions on behalf of his clients. He has qualified in court as an expert in organic chemistry, toxicology, contaminant hydrogeology, atmospheric dispersion modeling and toxic chemical destruction.
Craig McEwen, BASc., P.Eng.
Mr. McEwen left a government career with Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. to join Eco Logic in 1988. He was involved in the design, development and construction of all plants involved in PCB destruction. Further, he was involved in the remedial engineering and PCB waste destruction at the Middlegrounds Landfill NPL site, in Bay City Michigan, the design and construction of the PCB destruction site at the GM St. Catharines engine plant, and the design and permitting of a PCB operation at a transformer manufacturing facility at Landsdowne and Davenport in Toronto. Mr. McEwen has more recently designed and installed an extensive curtain wall and pump and treat system to recover fuel oil and to control contaminated groundwater in Sunderland, Ontario.
Kelvin R. Campbell, BASc., P.Eng.
Prior to joining ELI Eco Logic Inc. in 1988, Mr. Campbell conducted stack emission test programs throughout Canada. He supervised the mobile continuous emission monitoring lab for NITEP, the National Incinerator Testing and Evaluation Program and has also performed stack emission testing for particulate, metals, acid gasses, VOC and trace organic compounds such as PCBs, dioxins and furans. Mr. Campbell led the design, development and construction of all waste destruction units built by Eco Logic. He was involved in permitting all units, one in St. Catharines, one in Kwinana, West Australia and one in Aberdeen, Maryland. Mr. Campbell recently completed an assignment in the United Arab Emirates using quantitative risk assessment for an offshore drilling platform bring built by a Japanese oil company. He assessed the cleanup and certification of Idomo Plaza furniture shopping complex after it was flooded with sewage and has been involved with numerous environmental studies and remediation projects.
Michelle Davison, B.E.S.
Ms. Davison is a graduate of the University of Waterloo Environmental Studies Co-op program. She experienced work terms with the Hallett Group, as well as Environment Canada and Hydro One where she worked in environmental emergency planning and response. She is currently completing a Certificate in Emergency Management through York University. Ms. Davison now has three years experience managing large cleanup projects involving investigation, plume definition offsite, emergency plan design and implementation, health and safety requirements, removal and disposal of over 90,000 tonnes of contaminated soil, design, supply and installation of two large curtain walls and pump and treat systems, related hydrogeological studies by our engineers, public consultation, reporting to clients and regulators and bringing three different but related sites into compliance with their respective control orders in Ontario.
