In an update released Tuesday, the agency said hydrocarbons and naphthenic acids have been found in an unnamed fish-bearing lake located almost entirely within Imperial's lease about 70 kilometres north of Fort McMurray.
Alberta’s energy regulator has confirmed hazardous chemicals are present in a small waterbody after two releases of tailings-contaminated wastewater from Imperial Oil’s Kearl oilsands mine.
“Test results on April 3 identified the presence of F2 hydrocarbons and naphthenic acids at the two sampling sites closest to the seep location,” said a statement from the regulator. “These components are potential indicators of industrial wastewater within … a fish-bearing waterbody on the northeastern edge of Imperial’s Kearl lease.”
The regulator said the levels of those toxins remain below guidelines for the protection of aquatic life.
