Another Yellowstone River oil spill. 

By Cally Carswell, High Country News (Jan 22, 2015) – “I called Rebecca Craven, program director at the Pipeline Safety Trust, a watchdog group formed by families whose children were killed when a gas pipeline exploded in Bellingham, Washington in 1999. When I told Craven I wanted to know more about what reforms had resulted from the 2011 pipeline safety act, she responded that it would be a very short conversation. Not much at all had changed, she said. ….’The 2011 bill really didn’t enact any new regulatory requirements,’ Craven said. ‘Things are where they were in 2011.’”
