Residents of Gogama and Mattagami First Nations are concerned about what appears to be an oil slick found in the Kenogamissi Lake on November 15, 2016 and the earlier discovery of several dead fish in Mattagami Lake on August 31, 2016.

The source of the oil slick photographed on Kenogamissi is not conclusively known. However, local outdoors man David Reid is concerned it is related to the Gogama CN derailment and oil spill, which occurred approximately 30 kilometres to the south of location of the current oil slick on March 7, 2015.
 

An earlier CN derailment occurred further to the west of Gogama on February 14, 2015.

The photographs of the dead fish accompanying the story were taken in late August by Betty Naveau. The first two were taken near Togo and Twin J Hideaway on Mattagami Lake on August 31, 2016 and the next 3 were taken November 15, 2016 about 18 km north of Mattagami First Nation.

Photographs taken by Clint Chartrand show a defined stretch of water that is said to be an oil slick on Kenogamissi Lake.

“Yesterday I received some more pictures taken on Kenogamissi Sea (Lake),” said Reid. “This is down river from the spill site.”

“So the oil has gone through the High Falls Dam through the walleye spawning grounds and is now heading towards the Mattagami River that flows through Timmins,” said Reid.

The Kenogamissi Lake feeds into the Mattagami River which flows north through Timmins about 50 km to the north on its way to James Bay.
