SAGUENAY, Que. — A Quebec court has ordered Rio Tinto Alcan Inc. to pay $500,000 after the company allowed the discharge of acidic water into the Saguenay River following the failure of a boiler at its Arvida factory in Saguenay, Que., in 2019.
Environment Canada says the discharge happened on Sept. 17, 2019, after the company sprayed equipment with water to cool it down to allow for repair work.Environment Canada says the company took steps to stop the flow, but 351.3 cubic metres of acidic water was discharged into the river.
The fine will be paid into the federal government's environmental damages fund and will support environmental restoration and wildlife and habitat conservation projects.
