1 ECRC~SIMEC Bakken Crude Oil Spill Response From July 6, 2013 Train Incident Lac Megantic, Quebec

Oil Volume (as reported by CBC July )  7,200,000 litres of bakken crude oil on train  900,000 litres of oil not spilled inside 9 intact cars  670,000 litres of oil that was recovered from damaged cars  5,630,000 litres of crude oil that was burned or spilled into the environment

Incident Site – Lac Megantic

Water Entry Point – Lac Megantic

River Background Information Chaudière River - source near Lac Megantic Drainage area is approx. 6,682 square kilometres Water level could change by 50 cm or 20” 185 Km long Has 3 control dam’s Rocky bottom in river

Use of Control Dams After the incident occurred the control dams were lowered in an attempt to control the spread of oil Threat of flooding from a storm however meant dams could not remain closed indefinitely Resulting in some uncontained surface oil dropping with decreasing water level in river
