Pipeline leak located more than a week after sheen first reported on Ontario river
BNN Bloomberg
A pipeline leak in Sarnia, Ont., has been located more than a week after a sheen reportedly turned up on the St. Clair River.
Sun-Canadian Pipe Line says it pinpointed the leak on Saturday morning, nine days after the company said it was made aware of it on March 12.
Suncor, which operates a Sarnia refinery, told local media it had located a “hydrocarbon sheen” on the St. Clair River on March 11 and it had been contained.
The major Canadian oil company later said the leak was believed to be from Sun-Canadian, which operates a refined oil pipeline between Sarnia and the Toronto area.
Sun-Canadian says the impacted pipeline remains shut down and cleanup activities are ongoing to address the leak near Sun Avenue and St. Clair Parkway, in Sarnia’s petrochemical hub.
Aamjiwnaang First Nation, whose reserve is located just adjacent to the spill, said it had been left in the dark about its size and extent.
