   Washington, D.C.- Ronald Corso, a 48-year veteran of the hydropower industry, received the lifetime achievement award, named after Dr. Kenneth Henwood, on Tuesday April 4, 2006 from the National Hydropower Association.
   ...
   Corso is Senior Project Manager at Mead & Hunt, where he has been since 1995.
   ...
   In 1995, after a 37-year career, Corso retired from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Although his final position was Director-Division of Dam Safety and Inspections, during his almost four decades of service he had- at one time or another-supervised every facet of FERC's hydropower program. When he retired, it was noted that he had worked for more than half of all of the Chairman that served at the FERC (and its predecessor, the Federal Power Commission), which is quite a feat considering the Commission began in 1920.
   
   Corso was one of the principal players in developing FERC's licensing regulations and polices, and was the principal architect of its dam and public safety regulations. An author of more than 75 presentations, he is a sought after expert on hydropower issues. The United Nations lists him as an expert on dam safety, and while serving on the St. Lawrence and Niagara Boards of Control for almost 18 years, he advised the International Joint Commission on management and control of storage and flow in the Great Lakes system.
   
   Currently, at Mead & Hunt, he works with the same hydro owners that he met during his years at the Commission. He assists them with helping navigate the complexities of relicensing and also gives advice on development, focusing on dam safety, public safety, licensing, compliance, and headwater benefits.
