On July 29th, August 2nd, and August 8th, separate spills have occurred into the creek under which a pipeline is being laid, by Laser Northeast Gathering Co. This is a high quality stream in north central Pennsylvania.

Leaks have been discovered in the Millenium pipeline, running 180 miles west to east in southern New York state. This line, some of which is 30 inches in diameter, was constructed in 2008 and carries high pressure natural gas toward New York City. Columbia Gas Transmission has reduced the pressure and is examining all the welds, as new lines are being planned to gather gas for this one. Millenium Pipeline Leaks Discovered in NY.

Nichols Wed, 03 Aug 2011 01:53:34 +0000 http://www.frackcheckwv.net/?p=2635#comment-688 Pipeline Explosion Traced To Weld Joint -- The 36-inch Tennessee Gas transmission line on McKaig Road in Hanover Township, Columbiana County, Ohio, exploded on February 10th. A fireball of flame shot hundreds of feet into the night sky that could be seen up to 45 miles away. The explosion left a major crater in the road and hillside, showering dirt and debris on homes less than a mile away in Dungannon (twenty miles north of Parkersburg, WV), and closing down the road for about 5 weeks. Despite the severity of the explosion, damage was minimal because there were no homes located immediately near that section of the pipeline. The rupture occurred at a weld joint in the pipeline.

Nichols Tue, 02 Aug 2011 21:52:03 +0000 http://www.frackcheckwv.net/?p=2635#comment-687 The Montana Incident Last Month -- The US EPA reported on July 18th that Exxon-Mobil’s Silvertip pipeline leak and spill in Montana has ended. The pipeline bust on July 1, spilling an estimated 42,000 gallons of oil, or 1,000 barrels, into the scenic Yellowstone River. With the removal of the residual oil from segments of the pipeline, the threat of secondary releases has been eliminated, according to EPA's on-site coordinator. There are 700 people involved in cleaning up oil that spilled into the River and onto its banks, the agency said. The cause of the break will not be known until the section of ruptured pipe is removed, and that depends on the river level and necessary permits.
