In a smaller leak in August 2013, bitumen seeped up through a fissure near Primrose oilsand sites north of Cold Lake, Alta.
OTTAWA — Satellite imagery used by the federal government to review a
major bitumen leak last year in Alberta has found the project’s
steam-based extraction caused “measurable levels of ground deformation
in the area of the leak” at a rate 10 times faster than other oilsands
operations.
The
information is also sounding more alarm bells for the nearby Cold Lake
First Nations, who are worried various oilsands operations in the area
are contaminating local groundwater and damaging their traditional
lands. MORE
