On April 1, 2015, sentencing resulted in penalties of $50,000 for Custom Environmental Services Ltd. and $37,000 for Aevitas Inc. The combined penalties of $87,000 will be directed to the Environmental Damages Fund (EDF). The two companies had been charged following the discovery of a spill of approximately 100 litres of oil containing PCBs from a tractor trailer at a weigh scale near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on February 2, 2012. At the time of the incident, Custom Environmental Services Ltd. was a separate corporate entity, transporting a shipment on behalf of Aevitas Inc. The company has since been acquired by Aevitas Inc. Environment Canada’s enforcement officers conducted an on-site inspection and determined that an oil-like substance was leaking from the wooden floor of the trailer. A subsequent investigation by Environment Canada’s Enforcement Branch revealed that the truck lacked a proper secondary containment system to prevent oil containing concentrations of PCBs from being released into the environment. A lab analysis confirmed that the oil released contained concentrations of PCBs at approximately 200,000 times the minimum level subject to a prohibition against release under paragraph 5(1)(a) of the PCB Regulations. As a result of this conviction, the companies’ names will be added to the Environmental Offenders Registry. Quick Facts Polychlorinated biphenyls, commonly known as chlorobiphenyls or PCBs, are toxic industrial chemicals which were used in the manufacturing of electrical equipment, heat exchangers, and hydraulic systems, often to keep the units from overheating. PCBs cause harm in aquatic ecosystems and in species that eat primarily aquatic organisms. CEPA, 1999, is an Act respecting pollution prevention and the protection of the environment and human health in order to contribute to sustainable development. The Environmental Damages Fund (EDF) is administered by Environment Canada. It was created in 1995 to provide a mechanism for directing funds received as a result of fines, court orders, and voluntary payments to priority projects that will benefit our natural environment. The Environmental Offenders Registry lists information regarding convictions of corporations registered for offences committed under certain federal environmental laws since June 18, 2009—when the Environmental Enforcement Act received Royal Assent. SPILL RESULTS IN $185,000 PENALTY FOR ENSIGN WELL SERVICING INC. On April 2, 2015, Ensign Well Servicing Inc. was ordered to pay a penalty of $185,000 in Alberta Provincial Court after pleading guilty to the deposit of a deleterious substance into water frequented by fish, which is an offence under the Fisheries Act. The offence stems from a diesel spill that occurred on June 18, 2013, in Nisku, Alberta, into Blackmud Creek, a tributary of the North Saskatchewan River. An Environment Canada investigation determined that an out-of-service diesel tank (owned by Ensign Well Servicing Inc.) was the source of the spill. A broken plastic tube, attached to the tank, allowed 300 to 600 litres of diesel to spill onto the ground. An unknown amount of fuel made its way into nearby Blackmud Creek. Of the $185,000 penalty, $180,000 will be directed to the Environmental Damages Fund (EDF). The remaining $5,000 will be paid as a fine. The EDF is administered by Environment Canada. It was created in 1995 to provide a mechanism for directing funds received as a result of fines, court orders, and voluntary payments to projects that will benefit our natural environment. As a result of this conviction, the company’s name will be added to the Environmental Offenders Registry. Quick Facts Diesel is considered one of the fuel types most acutely toxic to fish, invertebrates and plants. The Environmental Offenders Registry contains information on convictions registered for offences committed by corporations under certain federal environmental laws. The Registry contains convictions recorded for offences committed since June 18, 2009–when the Environmental Enforcement Act received Royal Assent. AER: CHANGE IN BUSINESS PROCESS RELATING TO THE REVIEW OF UPSTREAM OIL AND GAS RECLAMATION CERTIFICATE APPLICATIONS Effective immediately, the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) has implemented a change to an internal business process regarding the review of upstream oil and gas reclamation certificate applications. Application deficiencies affect our ability to review and process reclamation certificates

The report summarizes not only the areas of lands that could be protected using the Environmental Reserve process, but also the options available through policies of the City of Edmonton to conserve lands not captured as ER. The report also compares City policies to standard municipal development practices that rely mainly on the tools available through the Municipal Government Act and other provincial legislation for environmental protection. Lastly, the results of the City’s Environmental Sensitivities analysis were compared to past assessments of environmentally significant areas in Leduc County, to determine how that inventory approach, and City’s natural areas policies might help conserve and sustain the biodiversity and ecological services of this landscape. We trust that the assessment will fulfill the requirements of the annexation process, and support other work currently underway in support of your application. If you have any questions or comments regarding the assessment, please contact the undersigned.

  • Mill Creek at Mill Creek Ravine Park Swimming Pool
    CREEKWATCH – Edmonton Sampling Locations MILL CREEK AT MILL CREEK RAVINE PARK SWIMMING POOL Parking & Sampling Access Stream Profile Mill Creek flows through south central Edmonton before entering the North Saskatchewan River. Named after a flourmill established in 1878 near the creek’s mouth, it enters Edmonton’s City limits through passing beneath Anthony Henday Drive. It eventually opens up into Mill Creek Ravine that offers scenic views and hiking opportunities within the bustling city of Edmonton. Sections of the creek are engineered underground to accommodate City infrastructure, and this includes the final section of the creek that enters the North Saskatchewan River through a raised culvert. The City of Edmonton is currently exploring the potential of resurfacing the north portion of the creek. Access (See Map) Access at Mill Creek Ravine Park, Mill Creek Swimming Pool: 9555 84 Ave NW Edmonton. Turn onto 95A St NW and park at the Mill Creek Swimming Pool. Sample at the bridge over Mill Creek. GPS Coordinates at sampling location: 53.520047, -113.473965 CREEKWATCH – Edmonton Sampling Locations WHITEMUD CREEK AT MOUTH Parking & Sampling Access Stream Profile Whitemud Creek is a major tributary of the North Saskatchewan River and provides many vital terrestrial and aquatic ecological functions in the southwest portion of Edmonton. Whitemud Creek was named during the Palliser Expedition for the white-coloured mud along the creek’s banks. The ravine provides ample opportunity for hiking and interactions with nature through old growth coniferous forests, deciduous and mixed-wood forests, meadows, and riparian communities. Access (See Map) Turn off of Fox Drive onto Keillor Rd, head WEST and park along the creek.

Still many miles to go before that river takes its rest, The story of this river is the story of the west. At Rocky Mountain House where The Nor-westers built a post, They pushed their fur trade empire across to the coast; Trading with the Peigan and the Kootenays, They loaded their canoes to make the long paddle east.
