Rainbow Pipeline Incident

On April 29, 2011, Plains Midstream Canada confirmed a release of crude along a remote section of the Rainbow pipeline located in Northern Sunrise County approximately 100 km northeast of Peace River, AB.

Plains has contained the release, and has clean-up crews working to recover all free oil, remove contaminated debris and soil, and minimize wildlife and environmental impacts. We’re working with local leaders, and all relevant government departments and regulatory agencies to ensure that the clean up meets all environmental standards.

Plains is committed to completing a comprehensive clean up of the site, and will continue ongoing communications with local leaders, communities, and regulatory agencies.

Once the clean-up phase has been completed, we’ll begin the reclamation and restoration process. We will continue to work on the site until the land is restored to a level that meets all environmental standards and we will continue to monitor the site for years after.
