Pipeline’s safeguards not working in Louisiana diesel spill

Pipeline’s safeguards not working in Louisiana diesel spill 

by Matthew Brown and Janet McConnaughey, Associated Press (February 7, 2022) – “There are no standards on how sensitive, accurate, robust, or reliable they need to be,” said Bill Caram with the Pipeline Safety Trust, a Bellingham, Washington-based group that has pushed for stronger regulation of the industry. “I can’t help but assume that leaks would be caught much faster and the impact to people and the environment significantly lessened if operators’ leak detection systems were held to some sort of standard.”
