The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday, June 26, edition that Cenovus Energy has been slapped with a non-compliance order in Alberta after it spilled diesel into a popular fishing lake. The Globe's Emma Graney writes that the spill came from a temporary diesel-powered generator that it was operating in the northwest corner of Alberta, about 140 kilometres west of High Level, according to the Alberta Energy Regulator order issued last week. The AER demands that Cenovus immediately contain the diesel and prevent any further release or migration into the environment. The notice is the latest in a spate of similar orders the AER has issued over the past six months, which have all involved water tainted with various pollutants being spilled by oil companies into various water systems in the province. Cenovus told The Globe on Sunday that the generator involved in the spill was being used as part of the company's wildfire response "to ensure adequate fire suppression and community safety." On June 17, about 2,000 litres of diesel from the generator leaked onto the ground at the site. Between 1,000 and 1,500 litres of that migrated into Rainbow Lake and the surrounding area, according to the AER.
