One of the largest onshore pipeline spills in recent American history — more than 865,000 gallons and five times the size of the Pegasus spill, this one of FRACKED OIL — was found in North Dakota on Sept. 29. The spill covers over 7 acres. The governor didn’t know about it for six days. The National Response Center didn’t report it until Oct. 8. The farmer said he expects to be able to use the land again for farming in a few years?!

The company’s reassurance that the fluids are contained and won’t affect groundwater sounds like Exxon’s claims that Pegasus bitumin didn’t get into Lake Conway. Will the FAA impose a no-fly zone in ND too?
