Spill occurred May 7, 2011.
The oil release happened at the Ludden Pump Station, where 30 personnel have been on-location to contain the escaped oil. Three hundred of the 500 spilled barrels of oil have been recovered, and three hundred cubic yards of contaminated soil will be removed and replaced with clean soil and gravel.
The oil spill was caused by a damaged three-quarter-inch fitting, and TransCanada has re-inspected all similar fittings at all of its pump stations in the United States and Canada, installing stronger fittings where appropriate.
