Imperial Oil Resources Limited, Canada’s largest petroleum refiner, is taking steps to prevent toxic, tailings-contaminated water from leaking onto Crown lands from one of its oil-sands sites located in Alberta following an order from the federal government.
The leak has been ongoing for months and follows an original spill of over 5 million litres of contaminated water that occurred in May 2022 at Imperial Oil’s site in Kearl, Alberta, as the Globe and Mail first reported.
