Multiple MLAs are making repeated calls for the Environment and Climate Change minister to do more in protecting the NWT’s water amid the threat of toxic oil sands mine tailings being dumped into the Athabasca River, which flows north.
The Alberta Energy Regulator is not forcing Suncor to undergo a provincial environmental impact assessment in order to release 10 to 12 million cubic metres of “treated wastewater” annually from its oil sands Base Plant into the Athabasca River.
