Toxic Wastewater Spill Near Zama City, Alberta Is The Largest In Recent History

A spill of at 9.5 million liters (~2.5 million gallons) of toxic wastewater near Zama City in northern Alberta has killed off roughly 42 hectares of boreal forest, an area about the size of 52 CFL fields. The spill happened less than 100 kilometres from the Northwest Territories border, and 20 kilometres from Zama City. It was first spotted on June 1, and could be the biggest environmental disaster in North America in recent history. Yet, Bob Curren of the resources conservation board said Alberta regulators didn't learn how big the spill was until Tuesday.

"This is a massive spill of toxics into one of the most important wetlands in Canada, if not the world," said spokesman Keith Stewart.

The leak comes after two other major spills in the area, including 800,000 litres of wastewater mixture from Pace Oil and Gas Ltd., and 3.5 million litres of oil from a Plains Midstream Canada pipeline.

The spill out of Apache's wastewater pipeline is the third major spill in the area, and Alberta's tenth largest "produced water" spill since 1975. In that time, Apache has been responsible for 949 spills - 517 of which have been spills of "produced water", a salty brine that contains hydrocarbon chemicals, radioactive elements and added substances.

James Ahnassay, chief of the Dene Tha First Nation, told the Globe and Mail “every plant and tree died” in the area affected by the Apache spill.
