Oil spills onto farm land

A pipeline has leaked about 200,000 litres of crude oil onto agricultural land in southeastern Saskatchewan.

Government spokeswoman Kathy Young says the spill site 10 kilometres north of Stoughton is in a low-lying area with a frozen slough.

She says about 170,000 litres of the spill have been recovered and the oil has not entered any creeks or streams.

Young says environmental consultants are at the site and say air quality and wildlife have not been affected.

She says the Environment Ministry was informed on Friday night when the spill was detected.

Tundra Energy Marketing is handling the cleanup.
