  • Yet Another Oil Bomb Train Explosion Marks Fourth Derailment in Four Weeks
    Yet Another Oil Bomb Train Explosion Marks Fourth Derailment in Four Weeks Anastasia Pantsios Get our newsletter Once again this weekend, we saw scenes of tanker cars strewn across the landscape on their sides emitting huge billows of smoke and fire. On Saturday a 94-car train carrying Alberta tar sands oil derailed two miles outside Gogama, Ontario, with at least 35 cars going off the rails and at least seven igniting. Five cars landed in the Makami River, prompting a warning to residents not to drink the water as well as to stay inside to avoid possible toxic effects from the fire. o o o o o Oil-carrying rail cars burn outside Gogama, Ontario Saturday night. Photo credit: Transportation Safety Board of Canada It follows fiery derailments of the so-called oil bomb trains carrying volatile crude oil that have occurred in Illinois, West Virginia and Ontario since the beginning of the year. In each of those cases, only about half a dozen cars derailed, making the Gogama derailment the biggest so far this year. Sponsored Content Sponsored Content Gogama is about 60 miles north of the remote, unpopulated area outside Timmins, Ontario where a derailment occurred Feb. 14. And while Gogama itself is remote, it's not unpopulated: the town has almost 400 residents and the nearby Mattagami First Nation community, and it's a major center of outdoor tourism. The tracks the train was traveling go through the town, raising the specter of another tragedy like the one that killed 47 people and leveled much of the town of Lac-Mégantic, Quebec in July 2013.

    Côté Gold Project Baseline Studies Fact Sheet Booklet Baseline Studies Overview IAMGOLD Corporation (IAMGOLD) is planning to develop the Côté Gold Project (the Project) located approximately 20 kilometres (km) southwest of Gogama, 130 km southwest of Timmins, and 200 km northwest of Sudbury. This booklet provides information on the baseline studies being carried out for the Project. What is a baseline study? A baseline study is prepared by a project proponent (or their hired consultants) to describe the current physical, biological and human environment conditions at a project site and surrounding area prior to the development of a project. The Côté Gold Project study area, defined separately for each discipline, generally includes the Project site and the immediate surrounding area that may be affected by the Project (local study area), as well as additional selected areas as it applies to the Project (regional study area). Why is it important for the Côté Gold Project? Baseline studies support the environmental assessment process. Understanding the current conditions, challenges and future plans of an area related to the Project provides a basis against which potential effects of the Project can be assessed. These assessments assist in decisions on the design and management of the Project to reduce those potential effects. Physical Environment Biological Environment Human Environment The physical environment baseline The biological environment The human environment baseline studies describe the physical baseline studies describe studies describe the socio- conditions and characteristics in the biological conditions and economic conditions in the defined the defined study area around characteristics in the defined study area around and within the and within the Project site.
