MARMARTH, N.D. — A saltwater pipeline leak in Montana has
released 17,000 barrels of brine, polluting more than a mile of a
creek in the Badlands of southwest North Dakota, authorities said
Tuesday.
The spill, reported Monday by Denbury Onshore, reached the Big
Gumbo Creek and flowed down 1.4 miles of the creek into a rural area
of Bowman County, about 14 miles south of Marmarth, the North Dakota
Department of Health said.
The spill, which is equivalent to about 714,000 gallons, is one of
the largest saltwater spills to occur in North Dakota, said Dennis
Fewless, the health department’s director of the Division of Water
Quality. MORE
