Stantec

Baer

Reidsma

Ross

Stantec hired three people to its Alaska environmental services group: Victor Ross as a senior associate and senior regulatory specialist in the Wasilla office; Steve Reidsma as a senior wetland scientist in Fairbanks; and Zach Baer as an environmental scientist and wetland scientist in Anchorage.

They come from another Alaska environmental firm, greatly expanding Stantec's environmental services experience, with a focus on wetlands, baseline data collection, and permitting for mining and transportation projects. As a team, they have done baseline wetlands data collection and permitting in the state. They completed U.S. Army Corps of Engineering permitting for major Alaska projects, including the Donlin Gold Project; Kivalina Evacuation Road; Cape Blossom to Kotzebue Road; and expansions at Fort Knox, Pogo and Red Dog mines.

Ross has 40 years of experience, mostly in Alaska, working for private firms and the USACE and Bureau of Land Management. Reidsma has over 25 years of Alaska natural resources experience and leads teams doing natural resource baseline and permitting work for small retail developments to larger transportation, mining and pipeline projects. Baer has 12 years of experience focused on wetland delineation, mapping, permitting and restoration. Stantec provides engineering, architecture, interior design, landscape architecture, surveying, environmental sciences, construction services, project management and project economics worldwide.
