Derailment Area - Initial Remediation
712,500 litres of Bucker C and 88,000 litres of Imperial Pole oil were releasedInitial response activities included recovering fluids, cutting and removing cars, repairing track starting August 3, 2005August 5th PTO observed seep from spring near lakeDamaged water well where Bunker C flowed, discovered on August 16th

PTO Performance
VER recovery system has operated for a total of 5,550 hours. Groundwater recovery rates range from 3 L/min to 13 L/min. Total volume of groundwater recovered and treated during the period is 2,038,000 L.Total volume of PTO recovered in the dissolved phase (i.e., groundwater) is estimated to be 7,950 L. Removal efficiencies are generally greater than 95% BTEX, PHC and PAHs48-h Daphnia magna (LC50) toxicity testing indicate greater than (>) 100 percent (%) survival for the test criteriaCurrent apparent PTO thicknesses in recovery wells range from 0.010 to 0.050 m.
