"Imperial Oil says there have been no reported effects to wildlife or open waterbodies from a pipeline leak of crude bitumen in eastern Alberta."

"Reported." 🤔

Wildlife and water bodies have not reported in...I guess.

"843,000 litres of fluid leaked from the pipeline, with about 172,000 litres of it being crude bitumen and 671,000 litres produced water. Produced water can be contaminated with salt, oil or other substances."

Meanwhile, Cold Lake First Nations is advising community members to avoid the area. The company has not done that, the community is keeping itself safe. Posted on CLFN Facebook.

"Snow fencing has also been placed around the perimeter to restrict wildlife access and act as a bird deterrent, it (Imperial) said."

"Snow fencing." 🤣

Imperial did not report the leak on its website or on its locally-focused Cold Lake operations Facebook page.

The many costs of war. An oil slick from an Iranian ship destroyed by the US is moving toward the Hara Biosphere, a mangrove swamp that is home to migrating birds, endangered turtles, and crustaceans. Due to continued bombing in the region no clean up has begun yet.
