Utility piping at Algoma Steel’s coke-making plant collapsed early Saturday morning. The incident has resulted in abnormal air emissions and the discharge of liquid waste into St. Marys River.
Production at the plant has since been interrupted.
Speaking with CTV News on Sunday a spokesperson for Algoma Steel said the company cannot confirm what exactly leaked from the broken piping into the water.
"The testing is underway," said spokesperson Laura Devon, in a phone interview with CTV News.
"We're doing testing at our water treatment plant and the Ministry of the Environment was on site doing testing as well. We await those results. So, I can't comment any further at this time."
Shortly after 4 p.m. on Saturday, the steelmaker issued a news release reporting that no one was injured in the collapse and only coke-making processes were affected and all other operations at the mill are not affected.
“(Our) team is managing the occurrence with the safety of our employees and the community as our highest priority,” the company said in the news release.
