The regulator says the inquiry will relate to issues around notification of the spill and what it calls “other potential process issues.”
Alberta Energy Regulator says it’s looking for an investigator to dig into a release of oilsands tailings water that wasn’t made public for nine months.
Although Imperial notified the agency in May of discoloured water near one of the tailings ponds, area First Nations were not kept apprised of the ongoing investigation. Nor were the federal, Alberta and Northwest Territories governments. “I have been in regular contact with CEO Laurie Pushor, and he assures me he welcomes this third-party review both as an opportunity for an independent recounting of the facts surrounding the response and as an opportunity for to learn and grow as applicable,” said the regulator’s chairman, David Goldie, in a release.
