Busted pipeline poured more than 50,000 gallons of crude into Montana's Yellowstone River.
A survey of Bridger’s pipeline on the company’s behalf in 2011 included a note that the pipe was buried only 1.5 feet beneath the ever-shifting river bottom. That would have put it at heightened risk of breaking.
“This raises questions — which Bridger has yet to answer — about whether Bridger concealed material facts about the condition of the crossing before the Yellowstone spill,” assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Elmer wrote in court documents.Attorneys for Bridger rejected the allegations about conflicting surveys as “conspiracy theories.”“There was adequate depth of cover across the entire crossing,” Salvin said. “We think the government is trying to find something that’s just not there.
Both pipeline businesses are part of Casper, Wyoming-based True Companies, which operates 1,800 miles of line in Montana, North Dakota and Wyoming.
