EXERCISE: Media Statement
Release into Burrard Inlet
FOR EXERCISE PURPOSES ONLY
An incident during ship loading operations at Pembina’s Vancouver Wharves facility early this morning has resulted in a release of diesel fuel into Burrard Inlet. The release was quickly isolated, containment and cleanup activities are underway, and the area is being monitored for water/air quality and impacts to wildlife. Local authorities, regulatory agencies, Indigenous communities, and stakeholders have been notified. We are focusing on containment and cleanup activities to minimize any potential impacts to the public, the environment, and wildlife. Pembina is committed to working with the community to provide updates on our website as more information becomes available.
