2013 waste accident in Alberta, Canada
On October 31, 2013, a waste pit at the Obed Mountain Mine failed near the town of Hinton in Alberta, Canada. Following the collapse of a tailings dam, up to 1 billion litres of wastewater flooded into the nearby Athabasca River in what may have been the largest coal slurry spill in Canadian history.
