(Reuters) – Imperial Oil Ltd on Tuesday said it is currently managing a minor biomass spill into the St. Clair River from its water treatment plant in Ontario, Canada.
“This occurred this morning and has been contained within the site’s outfall. Booms have been placed within that area of the river,” Imperial said.
As a precaution, a vac truck has been stationed at the area to prevent another carryover occurrence, the company said.
Imperial was not immediately available to comment on the volume of the release.
