Alberta Energy Regulator ignored law by not disclosing oilsands leak, lawyer says
“Imperial has always been dedicated to transparently communicating with our community partners, including local Indigenous communities, as they rightly expect.“We recognize that we have fallen short of these expectations, and we are committed to rebuilding trust by keeping them regularly informed of our operations as we continue addressing this issue.”Imperial said it is also addressing “a separate issue” close to the Kearl lease.
The company said there is “seepage” that is primarily natural groundwater and natural precipitation with “a small amount of industrial wastewater.” “Extensive and ongoing water monitoring has confirmed that seepage has not entered local waterways,” the company said.Imperial said the seepage happened in shallow ground, which meant it wasn’t caught by a system that is supposed to catch seepage in the Kearl facility. It said it is expanding the system to better protect against seepage events at every level.
“Nobody wants to feel that they have potentially been drinking water that has been exposed and I’m pleased to report that none of this spill got into the tributaries.”
