A Montana pipeline burst sent as much as 50,400 gallons of oil gushing into the Yellowstone River, prompting the governor to declare a state of emergency. Residents in nearby cities were told not to drink the tap water, which some said smelled like diesel. The massive oil spill happened when the 12-inch pipeline, which crosses the Yellowstone River, ruptured Saturday about 5 miles upstream from Glendive, Montanas Department of Environmental Quality said. The Bridger Pipeline company shut down the pipeline. Glendive City Council member Gerald Reichert was among the residents who noticed a disturbing odor in the drinking water. Suddenly at our house there was a definite smell. It was a diesel smell, Reichert told the Grand Forks Herald. Montana Gov. Steve Bullock announced a state of emergency for Dawson and Richland counties. And while officials wait for results from water sample testing, theyre advising residents to use bottled water for drinking and cooking. A host of agencies have responded to the oil spill, including the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Health and Human Services. Adding to the problems, the weather: the Yellowstone River is partially frozen, making it difficult to clean up the mess. This isnt the first major oil spill into the Yellowstone River -- the longest undammed river in the United States. In 2011, up to 42,000 gallons poured out of a ruptured Exxon Mobil pipeline. a.msn/01/en-us/AA8oQu1 ============================== Up to 50,000 gallons of oil spilled in Yellowstone River; residents told not to drink water ... cnn/2015/01/20/us/yellowstone-river-spill/index.html 50,000 Gallons Of Crude Oil Spills Into Partially Frozen ... thinkprogress.org/climate/2015/01/19/3612952/montana-yellowstone-river-oil-spill/ Pipeline breach spills 50,000 gallons of oil into ... dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2916168/Pipeline-breach-spills-oil-Yellowstone-River.html
