Kathy Tixier is a registered Professional Engineer with EGBC and holds a Master of Applied Science degree in Hydrogeology from UBC. She has nearly 25 years of experience in hydrogeological consulting and has worked in both the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors.
Kathy’s early work experience included managing contaminated site projects from the preliminary investigation stage to remediation stage. As part of this work she has studied the fate and transport of hydrocarbons, caustic soda, mercury, road salt, landfill leachate, and acid mine drainage in groundwater.
For the last decade, her focus has been on groundwater resource development and stewardship in the area of water supply. Her work has included the siting, design, evaluation, maintenance, rehabilitation, and decommissioning of water wells. She has also led groundwater impact assessments and mitigation planning for large developments, groundwater-surface water connectivity studies, GARP assessments, and applications for a variety of authorizations under the Water Sustainability Act.
During her 3-year tenure as General Manager of the British Columbia Ground Water Association, she organized three conventions, oversaw the publication of the Ground Water Protection Regulation Handbook, and facilitated a variety of training and networking opportunities for members.
Kathy enjoys gardening, 80’s music, hiking, horseback riding and watching her two kids grow into fabulous young adults.
