Tens of thousands of liters of gas from a gas station without detected immediately?
This question, because the efforts of the cleaning and Irving in the Irving and Irving I-24 truck is above the mind for the i-24 truck parking.
Since the mid-December, Vacuum trucks, subsistical designs, underground warehouse works on watches on the Beardsley road site to clear 100,000 liters of diesel fuel.
However, however, the large amount of fuel is unknown to how to literally know how to leak without detection immediately.
According to the documents obtained by CBC News, leaking at the request of the right information was not noticed until the detection of those who polluted the well water in the well water along the parking lot.
During the three months, the crews worked to clean up with more than 100,000 liters of diesels. Neither Irving Oil Ltd. nor a province answered questions about how the leak will be leaked.
This led to the closure of both the restaurant and the Hebrew station, and the cleaning teams responded.
Irving Oil Ltd. He did not respond to surveys from CBC on how leaks passed. The new Brunswick gas stations are required to have any leakage systems.
CBC reports to talk to someone around the surroundings where the surroundings are possible. No one was available to answer questions from the department.
Gas retail systems have detection systems
Christine McAllister, the comfort of the small tea in eastern Fredericton, small tea convenience and operator, small independent gas stations are also “inspections and balances” to detect leakages, he said.
“If I have a lack of equipment, there are alarms,” said McAllister. “It’s a really terrible sound. I just took place several times for something simple, but really high and piercing. It’s worse than the fire excitement.”
Its fuel warehouse tank is a underground model above, but the rules of revision of leakage are the same for underground units.
McAllister also said that there are sensors that detect moisture around fuel lines in both pumps and pumps. But he said that the alarm would be outside the slip of signal systems, the fuel will appear in the missing camp.
“If I focus on my numbers, I’d say something is bad,” said McAllister.
Prints a copy of fuel sales every day. Then he goes to the storage tank and measures the amount of fuel using a large dip.
The amount of fuel sold corresponds to the remaining amount in the tanks. If any alarming signal succeeds without driving, it would still appear in their books.
He says that even if it is a trivial amount of leaking, the edges of the fuel still will be as thin.
“If there is a shortage of equipment, it can take a few days, but it doesn’t take a lot to understand it.”
Fuel supplier, fuel delivery company, including these numbers, and will be noted when there is inconsistency.
“Even when I want to double check me from me, there are times,” said McAllister.
He said he intends to explain how ten thousand liters of fuel and warnings of any gas station will be.
The Green Leader reminds the explosions in ’80
McAllister said there were no serious rules for maintenance and sale of fuel.
In the 1980s, the Green Party leader David Coon had with the new Brunswick Protection Council, worked on the application for fuel storage and leakage.
“We brought people to protect people from leaks, prevent leaks, prevent leaks,” COON said in an interview.
In 1986, a Saturday morning on Saturday morning, the catastrophe was not so tight until the disaster occurred in the morning.
“Bible John had many explosions in Saint John; There was a very dangerous situation,” COON, 7 Bakhti was damaged and forced to evacuate 16 blocks.
“And that’s what we finally convinced our government to reach the right rules of today.
COON said it was in a loss as it did not detect such a large leak.
“This regulation should do its job, but it’s not recently,” said Coon. “Rules, if they are pursued properly, it must ensure that it is detected before it is deteriorated.”
In an email, the Environment Department spokesman ignore all relevant environmental legislation, including factory reservoirs, including Irving oil and management regulation and contaminated sites.
“Meanwhile, Irving and his consultants are investigating the cause of the release and the cleaning efforts on the site continue.” Lutes wrote.
“The department is actively reviewing the file to ensure compliance with environmental rules. To date, the company fully complied with all our desires.”
