Irving Oil Ltd. and Grant Enterprises 1984 Ltd. have pleaded guilty in provincial court to charges under the Clean Environment Act related to a massive diesel spill in Woodstock.
The spill was discovered in December 2024 after a Tim Hortons on Beardsley Road reported its water was contaminated with fuel. The Tim Hortons is next to Murray’s Irving gas station and restaurant.
In Woodstock court on Tuesday, it was revealed that the total spill was between 210,000 and 250,000 litres over four months, which is more than previous estimates.
Irving Oil and Grant Enterprises were originally charged with two counts.
