Wabamun Lake spill -- what new?

Question

What's the latest news on the 2005 spill of Bunker C oil and PCBs at Wabamun Lake in Alberta?

Answer 1

CN released a statement on October 18, 2005, that estimates the railroad's financial obligation for cleanup from the spill to cost an estimated $28 million, with remaining costs covered by insurance.

In the spring of 2006 after the ice melted off the lake additional clean up operations had to begin as tar balls began to surface.

As of June 5, 2006, CN faces environmental charges for ineffective management of the spill.
