Cancer-causing agent found in water after US pipeline spill

GLENDIVE,
Montana
(AP) — A cancer-causing com-
ponent of oil has been detected
in the drinking water supply of
a city just downstream from a
crude oil spill that entered the
Yellowstone River.
Elevated levels of benzene
were found in water samples
taken from a treatment plant
that serves about 6,000 people
in an agricultural community
in Montana near the North Da-
kota border, officials said.
Scientists from the federal
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention say the ben-
zene levels are above those
recommended for long-term
consumption but don’t pose a
short-term health hazard.
Truckloads of bottled water
were coming in Tuesday, and
residents were warned not to
drink or cook with water from
their taps.
Some residents criticized
the timing of the Monday ad-
visory, which came more than
two days after 50,000 gallons
(189,000 liters) of oil spilled
from a break in 12-inch (30-
centimeter) pipeline owned by
Wyoming-based Bridger Pipe-
line Co. It emerged as a con-
cern over the response to the
Saturday accident.
Adding to the frustrations
was uncertainty over how long
the water warning will last and
why company and government
officials still don’t know how
to remove crude trapped be-
neath the ice-covered Yellow-
stone River.
Representatives from Mon-
tana and the U.S. Environmen-
tal Protection Agency had said
earlier that preliminary tests of
the city’s water did not show
cause for concern. The water
treatment plant operated until
Sunday afternoon.
Additional tests were or-
dered Monday after residents
complained of the petroleum-
or diesel-like smell from their
tap water. That’s when the high
levels of benzene were found.
Benzene was found in the
range of 10 to 15 parts per bil-
lion, said Paul Peronard with
the EPA. Anything above 5
parts per billion is considered
a long-term risk, he said.
