Thaw Stirs up Oil Spilled in Lac-Megantic Derailment By Monique Beaudin, Gazette Environment reporter April 16, 2014 Montreal Gazette http://www.montrealgazette.com/news/ Thaw+stirs+spilled+M%C3%A9gantic+derailment/9745530/story.html . A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/mpzcedq . .The spring thaw has stirred up crude oil in the Chaudie River that spilled in the Lac-Mantic derailment last summer, prompting two towns along the river to use alternate sources of drinking water.
.Residents and teams from Quebec's environment department have seen oil sheens on the surface of the river in the past week, as warm weather and rain have melted ice and raised the level of the river, which starts at Lac-Mantic and travels 185 kilometres downstream to the St. Lawrence River.
.The Chaudie has flooded several towns in the Beauce region south of Quebec City in recent days. People in Beauceville have reported smelling oil along the river.
.Environment department employees flying over the river have seen oil sheens in certain locations, mainly near Lac-Mantic itself, spokesperson Fric Fournier said Wednesday. Oil was also detected in water samples taken from the river since April 8, but analysis showed it does not exceed safe limits, Fournier said.
.The oil sheen was also observed near Vall-Jonction, about 120 kilometres from Lac-Mantic. Fournier said that oil likely entered the river when four garages, including two service stations, were flooded in nearby Beauceville. Environment department teams are doing water sampling to determine if the oil in the water came from those service stations or if it is the crude oil spilled in Lac-Mantic.
