well, the video is not fair in sense of the enviromental rules in place -
I am a bird lover and it has to be said;
that safety nettings cover the ponds etc. are most often in
place so birds can't enter -
but unfortunate a mistake did happen -

Ex....
The ponds are supposed to have measures in place that keep
migrating waterfowl from landing on the ponds, such as
ex. scarecrows and noisemakers etc. -

In a news release issued, Syncrude's president and CEO Tom
Katinas said noisemakers had been deployed at all
the company's other tailings ponds.

"However, due to the extreme winter weather conditions in the
region last week, the deployment of these devices on
the Aurora Settling Basin was delayed," he said.

"After the rapid weekend thaw, we were in the process of
deploying the audible noisemakers on Monday, April 28th
when this incident occurred. Eighteen propane-fired
noisemakers are now operating at this site."

This is the first time such a large flock of birds has been
affected in Syncrude's 30-year history, he said, adding the
company estimates that 400 to 500 birds are affected.

Efforts to rescue the surviving birds are being hampered by
ice around the pond's edges.
There are also reports the ducks are diving to avoid
humans who try to come near.

In statement released on Tuesday, Alberta Environment said:
"Under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act
(EPEA), Alberta requires that Syncrude have a waterfowl
protection plan in place that includes a comprehensive
bird deterrent program for all tailings ponds.

"If Syncrude did not comply, the Alberta government will
take action, with penalties up to $1 million."

Environment Canada has said it will work in conjunction
with the provincial department.

We hope no more mistakes will happen -

God Bless America
