Ohio: Pipeline Crews Spill 2 Million Gallons of Drill Fluid
-----------------------------------------------------------

In Ohio, state regulators say crews constructing the $4.2 billion Rover
Pipeline spilled more than 2 million gallons of drilling fluid at two
different sites, fouling wetlands and threatening water quality. The
pipeline is being constructed by Energy Transfer Partners, the same
company that built the Dakota Access pipeline, which faced months of
resistance from the Standing Rock Sioux and members of hundreds of other
indigenous tribes and their allies.
