Crews cleaning up oil spill at Kinder Morgan station north of Kamloops, B.C.


Crews using an emergency response trailer and vacuum trucks are working to clean up a crude oil spill at a Kinder Morgan station north of Kamloops, B.C. The provincial Ministry of Environment said a flow meter has leaked about 100 litres of crude oil into the ground at the Darfield station. It said no waterways have been affected, and the spill has been contained within station property. In a statement, Kinder Morgan said it was alerted to an operational disruption through its internal safety system in the early hours of Sunday morning. The spill comes days before a deadline set by Kinder Morgan for its controversial Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.
