Yes its true, there is oil leaking into Cold Lake.. Out of all the FAT Lake Trout... Being serious, CNRL over injected steam in a SAGD field which over pressurized the Formation causing oil to come to surface( very shallow Formation there.. 350-400m TVD) it flowed into a small non fish bearing lake. CNRL has( by Order) drained the lake as part of the clean up, and supposedly will refill it this spring, as it was home for alot of waterfowl. Very bad situation... And Thankfully it did not afect Cold Lake Directly. The Oilfield activity is not located in proximity to Cold Lake.
