The operator of the Trans Mountain pipeline estimates that between 940 and 1,195 barrels of oil were spilled at the Sumas Pump Station in Abbotsford, B.C.

Both Trans Mountain and the federal Transportation Safety Board have said they are investigating the spill.

On Sunday, the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs condemned the planned expansion of the Crown-owned pipeline, which moves roughly 300,000 barrels of crude oil per day from Alberta to a terminal in Burnaby, B.C.

This is a minor spill compared to train derailments in recent years.

Maybe if it wasn't constantly at full capacity we wouldn't have this problem.

Trans mountain What was it before, a hill?

And the taxpayers will pay for clean up this just sample of what is to come in BC

Fortunately that’s a relatively small spill. There is always a price to pay for the resources we use and while pipeline companies try to be perfect, they never will be. Hopefully it will get cleaned up quickly.

Good thing it wasn't a train full. Into the Fraser.

Too bad there wasnt another pipeline so the present one wouldn't have to run at higher flow rates than normal to keep BC supplied with fuel.

Holy 💩

They will dig so far down to clean it up they will pop up in China.

Still the safest way to transport oil

$25,000 spill not including the clean up costs .... human error or failed infrastructure ?

Yes this is terrible, nobody wants this happening to our environment ! You know what was even worse !?.....July 6 of 2013 in Quebec 😢

DarleneDarbear What does the owner have to say?

That's not good
