Work continues to clean second motor oil spill in river near Montreal
MONTREAL — Work is continuing today to clean up the second oil spill in two weeks in the St. Lawrence River off eastern Montreal.
The Quebec Environment Department has confirmed that the two spills in the Pointe-aux-Trembles district involved motor oil that flowed into the river from a city storm sewer.
Officials are working with the City of Montreal to figure out how the oil ended up in the sewers.
The latest spill was discovered near a marina on Thursday, after heavy rainfall the night before.
