EDMONTON - Critics are lashing out at government’s response to a one-billon-litre leak from a coal mine containment pond in west-central Alberta.
Provincial officials on Monday warned 10 communities downstream of the spill not to draw water from the Athabasca River and also advised farmers not to allow livestock to drink from the river.
Initial test results do not show the massive spill on Oct. 31 poses a health risk, Alberta Environment said, adding that warnings were issued as a precaution until further assessments are completed.
The spill at Sherritt International’s mine northeast of Hinton is now contained, the ministry announced.
“The ‘sediment’ release into (the) Athabasca has stopped?” NDP environmental critic Rachel Notley tweeted on Monday. “After one billion litres, (the) pond is probably empty.”
About 100 employees and contractors working for Sherritt are at the site trying to determine how a wall in the containment pond was breached, propelling a plume of clay, coal dust, dirt, sandstone and shale through two creeks and into the Athabasca River. The company couldn’t say Monday when the walls were last inspected.
Calling the leak “huge,” Notley asked why it took five days for Alberta Environment to warn communities to stop drawing water from the river. She said officials in British Columbia issued immediate warnings in August when 65,000 litres leached from a coal tailings pond into the Tulameen River.
“I think government’s response is more proof that it can’t be trusted to act in the public’s best interest,” Notley said. “When this occurred in B.C., government reassured people everything was fine — but immediately told them not to drink the water or go into it.
“Why, with a billion-litre spill, was there a delay here? This is gargantuan, and these are not organic compounds. Coal waste includes a number of toxic compounds. (Government’s) handling of this is grossly irresponsible.”
Communities downstream have been warned to use caution, although most draw drinking water from wells and not the river itself. Only the city of Fort McMurray, town of Athabasca and hamlet of Smith, in the municipal district of Lesser Slave Lake, draw directly from the river.
Mayor Roger Morrill of Athabasca said the town shut off its water supply from the river on Friday, and will rely on reserves. Pollutants drifting slowly with the current are not supposed to reach Athabasca, about 170 kilometres east of the spill site, until Wednesday. Fort McMurray is so far distant that it could be at least next week before the plume reaches there.

埃德蒙顿评论家的抨击一一亿升泄漏从煤矿遏制池塘在中西部的阿尔伯塔政府的反应。
省级官员星期一警告说,10个社区的漏油事件不会从阿萨巴斯卡河打水,还劝告农民不让牲畜要喝大河的下游。
初步测试结果不在十月三十一日显示大量泄漏造成的健康风险,阿尔伯塔环境说,补充说,发出警告,作为预防措施,直到进一步的评估的完成。
在谢里特国际东北欣顿矿山漏油事故中部。
“沙”(的)释放到阿萨巴斯卡停了?“新环境评论家瑞秋诺利在星期一说。“十亿升后,(这)池可能是空的。”
大约100名员工和承包商的工作为该公司在现场,试图确定在遏制池壁被攻破,推进一缕粘土,煤粉尘,污垢,通过两个小溪和阿萨巴斯卡河砂岩和页岩。公司不能说星期一在墙壁上的检查。
调用泄漏”的巨大,”诺特利问他为什么花了五天的阿尔伯塔环境警示人们停止从河中汲水。她说,在不列颠哥伦比亚省官员发出警告时,立即在八月65000升浸取煤尾矿库到很多河。
“我认为政府的反应是更多的证据,它不能被信任的行为在公众最感兴趣的,”诺特利说。“当这发生在公元前,政府向人们保证一切都很好,但马上告诉他们不要喝的水或进入它。
“为什么,十亿升溢,有一个延迟吗?这是庞大的,这些都不是有机化合物。煤炭废弃物包括一些有毒的化合物。(政府的)的处理,这是非常不负责任的行为。”
下游社区被警告要小心,虽然大多数画的饮用水从威尔斯而不是河流本身。只有麦克默里堡的城市,阿萨巴斯卡和哈姆雷特的史密斯镇,在小奴湖市区,直接从河里拉。
市长罗杰莫雷尔阿萨巴斯卡说镇关闭供水从河上星期五,并将依靠储备。污染物慢慢漂流与当前不应该到达阿萨巴斯卡,约170公里长的漏油点东,直到星期三。麦克默里堡是到目前为止遥远,它至少可以下周羽到达那里之前。
