Last week Mr. Younger, from Imperial Oil, stated that Imperial installed “very shallow trenching with well points and pumps” to intercept the ongoing seepage. In response to my question of whether or not the Kearl tailings pond is continuing to seep into Treaty No. 8 wetlands, he then went on to say, “We've...intercepted all of the seepage.”
Given that we have found that AER has found, in the deep groundwater monitoring outside the Kearl lease area, excessive levels of these toxins associated with tailings, would Mr. Younger's statements be considered true?
