Widely-Opposed Pipeline 'Confirms Worst Fears' After Two Spills Into Ohio Wetlands

Energy Transfer Partners' new Rover Pipeline has spilled millions of gallons of drilling fluids into Ohio's wetlands. Construction of the $4.2 billion project only began last month.

According to regulatory filings obtained by Sierra Club Ohio, on April 13, 2 million gallons of drilling fluids spilled into a wetland adjacent to the Tuscarawas River in Stark County. The next day, another 50,000 gallons of drilling fluids released into a wetland in Richland County in the Mifflin Township. The spills occurred as part of an operation associated with the pipeline's installation.

Excerpt: Buffalo Pipeline Leaks 19,000 Gallons of Crude Oil on Farmland in Oklahoma

The Buffalo Pipeline, owned by Houston-based Plains All American Pipeline, L.P., leaked approximately 450 barrels, or roughly 18,900 gallons, of crude oil onto farmland in Kingfisher County, Oklahoma last week. Wheat farmer and cattle rancher Steve Pope told local TV station KFOR that he has lost an estimated 120 acres of pasture and wheat crop from the spill. The National Response Center on Sunday listed "internal corrosion" of the pipeline as the likely cause of the discharge.

Plains All American Pipeline released a statement about the spill:

"On Friday, April 21, 2017, Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. experienced a crude oil release on our Buffalo Pipeline, near Loyal, Okla. We are following our emergency response plan, and our staff is working with regulators and affected landowners. Our current priorities are to ensure the safety of all involved and limit the environmental impact of the release.

The oil spill happened less than 1,000 feet from the nearby Cooper Creek, which feeds into the Cimarron River, but the spill was contained on Pope's fields. Cleanup is underway at the site of the leak.

I read in the paper the other day how the oil is flowing now and the oil boom is back in North Dakota.

I was thinking that might be good for the North Dakota economy, but maybe not so good for Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women.

 

[tadoflamb]

I was also wondering if you had any information, @voices that carry on how the legal proceedings are going with the water protectors who were arrested and what would be a good way to help.

That didn't take long.....

Leaks found on Dakota Access pipeline system

 

[tadoflamb]

Woohoo!

JUN 16, 2017 — This week, a federal judge ruled that the Trump administration failed to fully consider the environmental impacts of the Dakota Access Pipeline when it issued a permit for its construction. The judge ordered the administration to conduct further environmental review. While this has not stopped oil flowing through the pipeline, it opens the door to that possibility – a huge win for our movement!

This is welcome news that might also affect the construction of other pipelines being built throughout the country.
