SARNIA, ONT. — Imperial Oil Limited was convicted on Sept. 16 and fined $900,000 for discharging a contaminant, namely slop oil, into the environment which caused adverse effects.
In January 2021, employees found a leak along an elevated pipeline containing slop oil. Slop oil is a waste product that is typically composed of crude oil, water and waste solids. It contains various contaminants that may include hydrogen sulphide, the bulletin reads. In April, prior to scheduled repairs, steam escaping from the steam tracer line leak bored a hole in the nearby slop oil line resulting in a spill of approximately 1,150 litres of slop oil. Subsequent air monitoring did not detect hydrogen sulphide, volatile organic compounds or gas vapour, the release states.
