Chevron Pipeline Leaks Crude Into Utah Creek

June 13, 2010 12:34 EST WSJ


A leak in a Chevron Corp.-owned oil pipeline in Salt Lake City sent as much as 500 barrels of crude oil (27,500 gallons) into a creek late Friday and early Saturday before work crews stopped the flow, according to a statement from the mayor's office.

The city government estimated that the oil was leaking from the 10-inch pipeline for several hours before the company was aware of it.

This is exactly what we are afraid of with the Colonial pipeline running under the Coosa River in Vincent, Alabama when the quarry begins blasting and deep, massive excavations.

But, it will probably be worse in our area, due to the aging infrastructure of the pipelines, sheer volumes and high pressure these lines have.

Much worse.
