TORONTO, Jan 25 (Reuters) - The president of Tundra Energy Marketing Ltd on Wednesday confirmed its pipeline as the source of a leak of some 200,000 liters (52,834 gallons) of crude oil onto aboriginal land in Saskatchewan that was discovered by a member of the community last week.
"TEML continues to work closely with the Ocean Man First Nation community and regulatory authorities to complete the cleanup and repairs," Bryan Lankester wrote in an email.
The spill was discovered just days before U.S. President Donald Trump signed executive orders that will move forward two controversial oil pipelines that have long been the target of opposition from indigenous and environmental groups. provincial government said on Tuesday that it will be investigating how long the spill went unnoticed and what leak-detection measures were in place. leak occurred on part of a more than 1,600-kilometer- (994-mile-)long southeast Saskatchewan pipeline system that Tundra, part of Canadian grain trading and energy conglomerate James Richardson and Sons Ltd, purchased from an affiliate of Enbridge Income Fund Holdings Inc ENF.TO late last year.
