Yellowstone River Oil Spill – Federal Clean Water Act Settlement
ExxonMobil Pipeline Company paid the federal government $1.05 million to settle Clean Water Act violations 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. According to the government, the oil was swept downstream, entered tributaries and nearby wetlands, and polluted more than 9,000 acres of riverfront.
