The Globe and Mail reports in its Friday, March 24, edition that the National Energy Board
says about 10,000 litres of light
crude oil spilled Monday at a
storage site east of Edmonton.
A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe reports that Enbridge said that as of
Tuesday morning, it had recovered
almost all of the oil, which
had leaked from a tank value in
an industrial area of Strathcona
County.
The company said the oil
flowed into a drainage ditch and
then into a creek.
The Transportation Safety
Board (TSB) dispatched a group to
the spill site, marking the second
time one has been sent to investigate
a pipeline-related incident
this year.
Last month, Enbridge said a third party strike on its pipeline leaked 200,000 litres of oil condensate into a construction pit. That number grew to 961,000 litres.
The TSB has launched a full investigation into the February spill.
