Thanks to a leaky Iowa Pipeline, 140,000 gallons of diesel fuel just spilled into the Midwest

‘Worth County, Iowa, has a sticky situation on its hands with a ruptured pipeline that leaked — according to original estimates — approximately 140,000 gallons of diesel fuel into farmland on Wednesday with about a foot of snow already on the ground.
The pipeline near Hanlontown is owned by Magellan Midstream Partners, and an investigation is underway into how the 3,300 barrels of diesel leaked out from the 12-inch, 127-mile long pipeline. A repair crew reported to the scene sometime after the 8 a.m. pipeline break.
As reported by the Des Moines Register, an official with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources described the leak as “a big one — it’s significant. The responsible party is Magellan, so they’ll have to bear the cost of clean up.” Enough fuel leaked out to supply 10 gas stations, the official suggested.’
