A project in northern Alberta is under scrutiny after a First Nation raised alarm over a leak that it claims the province and Imperial Oil tried to hide.
and assured Albertans that no wildlife or drinking water had been affected by the Kearl Lake tailings pond leakage.
“The truth is that 5.3 litres of process-affected water spilled across a forested area,” said Adam. “The volume of this water was such that it can be seen seeping up from under the ground and pooling on the surface. Water drains through the earth into groundwater and eventually drains into tributaries and other bodies of water. This is basic science.”
“Our community and the public expect that there will be accountability from Imperial, AER and other regulators. Right now all we are getting from the premier is spin.” Attached to the ACFN statement on Wednesday were aerial photos of the spill zone appearing to show moose near the leakage along with photos of animal tracks close to a piece of Crown land near the Imperial site. The ACFN also stated that animals could roam freely through the affected area.
