BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - An Oklahoma oil company that spilled more
than 1 million gallons of saltwater into a northwestern North
Dakota creek more than four years ago has paid fines and settled
lawsuits but continues to fight growing problems at the site.
For the past month, Zenergy Inc., based in Tulsa, Okla., has
been hauling about 21,000 gallons of briny water a day from a
beaver dam near Alexander, said Lynn Helms, director of the state
Department of Mineral Resources.
Heavy spring rains and melted snow washed previously spilled
saline water from an underground coal seam into the dam that drains
into nearby Charbonneau Creek, a tributary of the Yellowstone
River. MORE
