Alta. tailings pond to get federal inspection
Environment Canada officials will be in northern Alberta on Tuesday to inspect a tailings pond operated by Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. that was the subject of a CBC News investigation.
Federal Environment Minister John Baird made the announcement in the House of Commons on Monday, in response to a question from Alberta NDP MP Linda Duncan.
"We're deeply concerned about the reports that we have learned of," Baird said. "I have spoken to my deputy minister and Environment Canada officials will be on the ground to take a look at the situation tomorrow."
The pond is part of CNRL's Horizon oilsands project near Fort McKay, Alta.
