North Dakota Pipeline Leaked 3 Million Gallons Of Brine In Oil Drilling

Please, no pipeline in my neighborhood!

Cleanup is underway after nearly 3 million gallons of brine, a salty, toxic byproduct of oil and natural gas production, leaked from a pipeline in western North Dakota, the largest spill of its kind in the state since the current energy boom began.

The full environmental impact of the spill, which contaminated two creeks, might not be clear for months. Some previous saltwater spills have taken years to clean up. A contractor hired by the pipeline operator will be on site Thursday, assessing the damage.

Operator Summit Midstream Partners LLC detected the pipeline spill on Jan. 6, about 15 miles north of Williston and informed North Dakota officials then. State health officials on Wednesday said they weren't given a full account of the size until Tuesday.

Did you prefer that a Warren Buffett train derail in a small town and explode in flames?

Too late.

Pipelines are everywhere. Thousands of them. There is a good chance your house is sitting almost on top of one. No matter where you live.

No, they don't have those things in Martha's Vineyard/Malibu where lefties live. The Fatherhood of God, the Brotherhood of Man, the neighborhood of Martha's Vineyard/Malibu, from each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
