Profession or Area of Expertise
Utah Director, Western Watersheds Project, Inc.
Personal Statement
Dr. John G. Carter has a PhD in Ecology, an MBA and a B.S. in
Mechanical Engineering. His experience has included research into ecosystem
structure and function of both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, the fate
and transport of pollutants in surface and ground water, design and
supervision of complex remediation and reclamation projects. He has been an
expert witness on these issues for several clients including the Colorado
Attorney General’s Office. Dr. Carter has presented numerous seminars and
papers on ecosystem management, aquatic ecosystems and effects of
contamination on aquatic systems. He has been a member of the National ASTM
Committee on Biological Effects and Environmental Fate as well as the
American Water Works Association and APHA Committee on updating and revision
of “Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Waste Water”. In
1996, Dr. Carter organized Willow Creek Ecology, Inc., a 501(c) 3 non-profit
corporation dedicated to the use of science, law and education to address
the massive watershed, water quality and habitat degradation occurring on
the Public Lands of the western U.S. by commercial livestock production. In
2001, Dr. Carter joined Western Watersheds Project (http://www.westernwatersheds.org/)
as Staff Ecologist and director of Utah operations. We confront Agency
decisions through monitoring, detailed scientific and legal analysis. We are
appealing and litigating decisions that do not address livestock impacts on
watershed health and wildlife. |
