Ted Leroy Trucking has been convicted of six counts of pollution for the Robson Bight spill of 2007. Logging equipment and 20,000 litres of oil and fuel were dumped into the Robson Bight Ecological Reserve in Johnstone Strait due to an unseaworthy badge with a compromised scow.
The company has since gone bankrupt thus the clean-up, totalling $2.5 million, will be paid by the government. This draws attention to the need for mandatory badge inspections and tie-downs regulations.
