ECCC says samples were collected at the Kearl site north of Fort McMurray on March 8. Their team also met with the AER and Imperial Oil.
Imperial Oil has been ordered to immediately contain the seep and prevent it from entering fish-bearing waterbodies. Federal officials are also working with the AER to review the company’s remedial action plan to guarantee it follows the Fisheries Act.
On Jan. 31, 5.3 million litres of fluid spilled from a tailings pond at Kearl. The spills and seepages were made public on Feb. 6 when the AER issued an environmental protection order against Kearl. As a precaution, hunters and trappers have been warned not to eat any meat or plants harvested downstream from Kearl since May 2022.
