Pipeline shuts down after large spill near Mississippi River 

by Mike Soraghan, E&E News (January 5, 2022) – Bill Caram, executive director of the Pipeline Safety Trust, called it “maddening” that the problem wasn’t fixed more than a year after it was discovered. He also flagged a portion of PHMSA’s order explaining that the inspection found the problem warranted immediate repair, but that was changed after the vendor reevaluated the data and found less damage. “Now we have over 300,000 gallons of diesel fuel spilled, a mere few hundred feet from our treasured Mississippi River,” Caram said.
