New oil slick appears off Pointe-aux-Trembles

A new oil slick has appeared in the river off Pointe‑aux‑Trembles. This time, the Canadian Coast Guard has identified a source, but saying it’s a storm drain isn’t really much of a clue. Who’s dumping oil has still to be determined.

It’s not trivial, either. The spill two weeks ago is estimated at 19,000 litres, and birds have been damaged in the area.
