The Calgary-based oil and gas producer is facing several provincial and federal charges relating to the release of 225,000 litres of diluted heavy oil from a pipeline near Maidstone in July 2016. About 40 per cent of that oil went into the North Saskatchewan River, affecting water intakes in the cities of North Battleford, Prince Albert and Melfort.
