U.S. and Montana v. ExxonMobil Pipeline Company (Yellowstone River Oil Spill)
ExxonMobil Pipeline Company agreed to pay $12 million to the federal government and the state of Montana to resolve claims stemming from the July 2011 oil spill into the Yellowstone River. On July 1, 2011, the 12-inch diameter Silvertip Pipeline owned by ExxonMobil ruptured near Laurel, Montana, resulting in the discharge of approximately 63,000 gallons of crude oil into the Yellowstone River and floodplain. Oil from the spill, along with the cleanup activities, damaged natural resources in the area.
