Sept 12 (LNGJ) - Woodfibre LNG has reported a spill at the 100-year-old industrial site, a former wood mill, where the Asian-led company plans to build a liquefaction and export plant located 7 kilometres southwest of the town of Squamish in British Columbia. The spill happened during routine maintenance on the site’s industrial landfill, which contains historical wood waste from former pulp mill operations. “A pipe connected to the landfill was being flushed with water, when it broke, spilling about 3,000 litres of wash water,” Woodfibre said. “The spill was primarily contained in a containment sump and quickly cleaned-up using a commercial vacuum truck that was onsite as part of the scheduled maintenance work,” it added. The spill was reported to the BC Ministry of Environment and Emergency Management BC for further investigation.
