FortisAlberta fined $300,000 over Hinton PCB leak

FortisAlberta Inc. has been fined $300,000 after a polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) leak from a Hinton transformer the power distribution company didn’t report for seven months.
FortisAlberta reported in May 2016 that one of its transformers had leaked oil, but enforcement officers found the company had discovered the leak in October 2015, according to a news release Thursday from Environment and Climate Change Canada.
Testing results showed about 325 litres of oil containing PCBs
