Overview
- Officials now estimate more than 80,000 litres of aviation fuel reached the Kamloops Lake shoreline after a second leaking rail car was identified.
- Early results reviewed by Interior Health show no detections above drinking-water guidelines, with the TNRD reporting no direct impact to Savona and results for Walhachin still pending.
- Precautionary measures remain in place as some lakeside communities pause water intakes, with bottled water supplied to Frederick and operational adjustments made in Tobiano.
- A containment boom is holding a visible sheen with no spread observed beyond it during an aerial check, and officials estimate less than 25 litres of fuel inside the boomed area as sampling continues.
- CPKC says four rail cars have been removed and specialized crews are recovering jet fuel from the water, with no injuries reported and the derailment cause under investigation.
