CHENG ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND REPORTING BRANCH MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT TORONTO ONTARIO 2002 KK PREFACE This report provides a regional assessment of the groundwater resources of areas draining into Hudson Bay, James Bay, and the Upper Ottawa River in northern Ontario in terms of the geologic conditions under which the groundwater flow systems operate. A hydrologic budget approach was used to assess precipitation, streamflow, baseflow, and potential and actual evapotranspiration in seven major basins in the study area on a monthly, annual and long-term basis. The report is intended to provide basic information that can be used for the wise management of the groundwater resources in the study area. Toronto, July 2002.

  • CN Rail Derailments
    CN Railway Derailments, Other Accidents and Incidents Prepared by Railroaded – Updated Oct 25, 2013 (This is a small sample of the thousands of CN derailments, spills, fires and other accidents. Past CN employees indicate that CN intentionally does not report many derailments.) Oct 19, 2013. Gainford, Alberta. A 134-car CN train carrying crude oil and liquefied petroleum gas (propane) derailed about 90 km west of Edmonton, causing explosions and a massive fire. 9 of the 13 derailed tank cars were carrying propane and 4 carried crude oil. 1 of the cars carrying propane exploded and 3 others also caught fire. The amount of petroleum product spilled and the extent of environmental and property damages were not disclosed. A state of emergency was ordered for the entire area. All 100 Gainford residents and another 25 people living within 2 km of the derailment site were evacuated for 4 days due to the fear of additional explosions, fires and noxious fumes. The intensity of the fire was so severe, firefighters were forced to let the fire burn itself out, which took 4 days. The main east-west highway (Yellowhead No. 16) and the main east-west rail line (Trans-Continental) through western Canada were closed for 5 days. ( Chicago Tribune Oct 19/13, CBC News Oct 19/13, plus additional sources) Oct 16, 2013. Sexsmith, Alberta. 4 CN tank cars carrying anhydrous ammonia derailed. One of the derailed tank cars was leaning and sinking. Anhydrous ammonia is a dangerous good. In the absence of receiving any information from CN, Sexsmith fire resources ordered an evacuation of about 150 homes.
