The NTPC Inuvik plant has had a rough year. In March, two diesel fuel spills combined for 6,800 litres of environmental damage. One of the spills was linked to human error and the other was linked to equipment failure.

Cold temperatures and utilities buried in frozen soil are slowing the clean-up down, as well as a lack of proper equipment. Berms are being constructed to keep any remaining fuel from moving into the water and absorbents will be deployed as the snow begins to melt. There is currently no evidence any of the spilled fuel left the NTPC plant site.
