Dozens of bird carcasses were discovered Friday at an oilsands site near Fort McMurray, Alta.
In a note to area First Nations, the Alberta Energy Regulator says the water is from a pond used to settle suspended solids in surface water collected from parts of the site that haven't been mined. Once the sediments settle, the water is emptied into a creek that drains into the Athabasca River.
Canada's Suncor Energy has reported the release of 5,900 cubic metres (208,400 cubic feet) of water with more than twice the approved level of suspended solids from a sedimentation pond at its Fort Hills oil sands project in northern Alberta.
