Data extracted 17 November 2020 ¹ HVP means high vapour pressure as defined in Canadian Standards Association Standard Z662. ² LVP means low vapour pressure as defined in Canadian Standards Association Standard Z662. ³ As of July 2014, the minimum reporting threshold for releases of low vapour pressure hydrocarbons was established at 1.5m³.

Note: This is preliminary information subject to year-end validation and reconciliation.
