Spilled substance in Grand River could be old motor oil

00

Ministry of Environment and Climate Change said that cleaning up the massive oil spill in the Grand River may take a month or longer.

A potential source of the spill was identified after a towing company near Kitchener reported an oil spill to the ministry’s Spills Action Centre.

About half of an 800-litre storage tank of used motor oil spilled inside the company’s facility and entered floor drains – explaining the direct impact to the storm sewer system that runs into the Grand River.

The name of the company that reported the spill has not yet been released.
