Workers have recovered over 29,400 gallons of crude oil from an underground pipeline spill on North Dakota farmland. The South Bow company reported that more than 200 workers are on-site as part of the cleanup and investigation into the Tuesday spill, which released an estimated 147,000 gallons of oil onto farmland.
The cause of the spill is still under investigation by South Bow, with continuous monitoring of air quality showing no adverse health concerns. The company has not set a timeline for restarting the pipeline, which stretches over 2,689 miles from Alberta, Canada to refineries in Illinois, Oklahoma and Texas.
The cleanup efforts are ongoing, with workers hauling gravel to maintain roads around the spill site. While there have been traffic checkpoints in place, the area is not considered heavily populated, with a cluster of homes located nearby but not directly adjacent to the spill. South Bow is working with federal and state authorities to ensure the pipeline’s safe operation.
