The Provincial Court of Alberta has fined Harvest Operations Corporation $70,000 for a pipeline failure that resulted in the release of approximately 119,000 litres of produced (salt) water and approximately 1,000 litres of oil emulsion. The company pled guilty to releasing a substance that caused a significant adverse environmental impact on a small wetland near Wainwright in March 2007. As part of a creative sentence order, $49,000 of the penalty will be paid to fund a wetland restoration project near Wainwright. The $21,000 balance of the penalty will be paid as a fine.
