The Alberta Energy Regulator laid the charges after 9,000 litres of a mixture of crude oil and produced water was released from two break points on a pipeline near Winfield in June 2017.
Winfield is approximately 130 kilometres from Edmonton.
Several dead animals, including fish, squirrels and amphibians, were discovered following the leak.
