Up to 50,000 gallons of oil spilled on Saturday from a break in a 12-inch pipeline owned by Wyoming-based Bridger Pipeline Co.

Representatives from Montana and the US Environmental Protection Agency said preliminary tests did not show cause for concern but additional tests ordered after residents complained of a petroleum or diesel-like smell from their tap water revealed the benzene.

dot retard hyping a leak..... City takes precautions but no evidence of contamination.. yet even thought the facts say its not a problem, and its being cleaned up, you omit that the pipeline is 60 years old and in the process of being replaced, if we can get Obama out of the dam way and his morons in the EPA who are blocking its upgrade..

Seems that is not that uncommon occurance in Montana. Perhaps they had better choose between better regulations on the pipe lines and their beauty in that state.

An Exxon Mobil pipeline that runs under the Yellowstone river in Montana ruptured on Saturday, leaking hundreds of barrels of oil and causing a 25-mile (40km) plume that has fouled the riverbank.

The breach in south-central Montana led to the temporary evacuation of hundreds of residents along a 20-mile stretch of the river, a key tourist attraction in the region that runs through the famous national park of the same name. Cleanup crews deployed booms and absorbent material as the plume moved downstream at around 7mph (10km/h).

The river has no dams on its way to its confluence with the Missouri river just across the Montana border in North Dakota and it was unclear how far the plume might travel.

"The parties responsible will restore the Yellowstone river," Brian Schweitzer, the governor of Montana, said.

An Exxon Mobil spokeswoman, Pam Malek, said the pipe leaked an estimated 750 to 1,000 barrels of oil for about half an hour before it was shut down. Other Exxon officials estimate up to 42,000 gallons (158,982 litres) of crude oil escaped.

Duane Winslow, Yellowstone county director of disaster and emergency services, said the plume was dissipating as it moved downstream.

"We're just kind of waiting for it to move on down while Exxon is trying to figure out how to corral this monster," Winslow said.

"The timing couldn't be worse," said Steve Knecht, chief of operations forMontana disaster and emergency services. "With the Yellowstone running at flood stage and all the debris, it makes it dang tough to get out there to do anything."

He said the plume was measured at 25 miles near Pompeys Pillar national monument

A cancer-causing component of oil has been detected in the drinking water supply of an eastern Montana city downstream from a crude oil spill

A cancer-causing component of oil has been detected in the drinking water supply of an eastern Montana city just downstream from a crude oil spill that entered the Yellowstone river.

Elevated levels of benzene were found in samples taken from a water treatment plant that serves about 6,000 people in the agricultural community of Glendive, near the North Dakota border, officials said.

Truckloads of bottled water were expected to be brought in on Tuesday, and residents were warned not to drink or cook with water from their taps.

See the above post concerning the benzene found in the drinking water? See what a liar Billy Boob truly is.

I have some news for you, Billy Boob. Who is at fault for not replacing that 60 year old pipe line? Who has been making billions of dollars in profits every quarter for many years now?

My state only allows Oil Pipelines, we found the Oil Pipelaines unreliable.

So you have access to the companies Leger sheets? billions every quarter???!!!! LOL

The oil and gas pipelines in the nation are just as important as any bridge or roads. Thinking other wise is pure ignorance.

Hey Old Crock....

You want to know something funny.. Every major city on the coasts have levels of benzine 5 times that of this finding in its systems.. Where are the press releases for those?

The worst contamination of water came from idiot environmentalists, such as yourself, who forced MTBE to be used as an oxygenate in gasoline to clean the air pollution.

LAZY MORONIC CULT MEMBERS dont do homework... they do as they are told.. The only one bloviating is you... why dont you try the EPA's acceptable limits for these toxins and then go to the individual cities reports. You would be amazed what is in the water in lib land...

The MTBE issue was, of course, one of containment. Isn't this what it's all about- containment? MTBE worked well as an oxygenate and there was really no reason to ban its use.... until.

Until - along came the ass-fucking farmer with ETOH.

MTBE was railroaded out of use by the Agriculture lobby and Ag state politicians in order to pave the road for ETOH.

Now they've diverted 58 million acres of arable land in order to make so MUCH ethanol that they are now DEMANDING an increase from 10% blends to 15% blends. PLUS, they are EXPORTING the shit to the tune of tens of millions of gallons MONTHLY.

Back to the issue of containment... each year, 20 million pounds of Ag chemicals are spread over our lands across this country and NO ONE bitches about it?? How's that for "containment".

And where do these chemicals end up? I think you know the answer to that one.
