Normerica Inc. was convicted under the Environment Protection Act for failing to report a pollutant spill at its facility in Brantford, Ont.

Cat litter manufacturer Normerica Inc. was convicted and fined under the province’s Environment Protection Act after failing to report a pollutant spill that spewed noxious fumes into the environment, impacting nearby community members for more than a month.

The spill on Aug. 10, 2019 was allegedly caused by a burst drum of Clean Burst at Normerica’s plant in Brantford, Ont. A neighbouring business also reported a foamy substance with a “soaplike odour emerging from a sewer drain,” the ministry said.
