Rod Caster Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I'll have to probe my sources to get information on this one. If they intentionally ignited the fuel (assuming its fuel), then they would need permission from the MOE for some kind of release to air. I somewhat doubt the MOE would permit this as they rarely (and are not supposed to) manage/give direction at spill sites. In that short of a time frame, it's very unlikely the MOE said "yep, go ahead and burn it". I bet they are mobilizing cleanup crews, vacuum trucks on rail cars and mobile treatment units and many thousands of pounds of absorbents and mitigation equipment as we speak. There are not very many companies that are prepared to properly address/respond to spills of this size in that area of Ontario. If those companies are busy on other jobs it makes it even worse. Let's hope all practicable efforts are taken to protect human and environmental health! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manitoubass2 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Chad would know better, but it looks like an intentional burn off to avoid costly remediation. Hopefully you're upwind Rick. Totally downwind, all day with 40km per hour winds lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
