Stirling Creamery has been fined $28,000 for an accidental fuel spill into Rawdon Creek.

Ontario’s environment ministry reported the Jan. 18 spill of 800 to 1,000 litres of diesel fuel happened when the fuel was pumped accidentally out of a tank.

The resulting cleanup took two weeks, but officials said most of the fuel ended up on the ice covering the creek. The municipal water supply was not affected, officials said.

The creamery has 90 days in which to pay the fine.
