☆ Imperial Oil spill into lagoon contaminates flock of Canada geese

July 26 (Reuters) - Canada's Imperial Oil (IMO.TO) spilled crude oil into a process-water lagoon at its Mahihkan plant in northern Alberta, contaminating a flock of geese, the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) said on Wednesday. The spill of around six barrels of oil, which took place on Monday, is the latest environmental lapse by the oil sands company. Earlier this year it emerged that toxic tailings water had been seeping for months from Imperial's Kearl mine, and a second separate leak occurred in February. Twelve Canada geese became smeared with oil after landing on the lagoon, the AER said in an incident report on its website. In the last week a dead frog and two dead minnows were found near the seepage site and were collected for additional testing, Imperial said.

☆ Canada's Imperial ordered to fix seepage from oil sands tailing ponds
  + stars: | 2023-02-08 | by ( Nia Williams | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Feb 8 (Reuters) - Canada's Imperial Oil (IMO.TO) on Wednesday said it is working with the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) to fix industrial wastewater seepage from tailings ponds at its Kearl oil sands project that has been ongoing for months. The order steps up regulatory enforcement from the AER, which previously issued Imperial with two non-compliance notices and conducted site inspections. Kearl is a 240,000-barrel-per-day bitumen mine in northern Alberta, and the wastewater, or tailings, from its industrial processes include dissolved iron and arsenic. However, Imperial on Saturday also reported a separate leak of more than 5,000 cubic metres of tailings water from one of its holding ponds. Schmidt said the cause of that release is still being determined and Imperial has notified local communities.
