The Alberta Government says Agrium has plead guilty to one count of failing to report an ammonia release from its Carseland nitrogen operations southeast of Calgary.
In a release, the Province says the incident back on January 30, 2017 wasn't reported to the Ministry of Environment and Parks until February 27.
In an agreed statement of facts, the Calgary-based company admits anhydrous ammonia was released after a pressure release valve was inadvertently jarred to an open position.
Agrium was penalized $28,750 including a victim fine surcharge.
