Mebbe so but you damn well can burn a goodly portion of the state down when lines go down due to weather or lack of infrastructure maintenance. |

Well the good thing is gas will evaporate very well, plus what soaks in to the soil is not visible. So no pics of large areas of black crude oil. Thats probably why it was not national news at the time, nothing to show that ugly. Now they can just talk about it, because there is nothing to go see thats good tv.

In reality a refined products leak/spill has much more potential to damage the environment than a crude oil leak/spill of a similar size. |

Not disagreeing but I am saying they cant get good pics of large gas spill vs a large oil spill. Think the beaches after valdes and think of a pic of a lake of gas. Very different images. |

anybody else notice the NC dept of environmental quality guy is Biden's nominee for EPA director because......... he's black?
In September, Michael Regan, then-secretary of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, said 273,000 gallons of gasoline spilled in Mecklenburg County’s Oehler Nature Preserve near Huntersville, The Charlotte Observer reported Thursday. ... Regan was selected by then-President-elect Joe Biden to become head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. He would be the first Black person to head the agency. |

He was asking you when you heard about it on the news for the first time. Between all of the other nonsense in the news, I certainly never heard about it until today, which makes the timing of this article suspicious at best. |

I don’t care what he was asking me, or for your input on what he was asking me. I was showing him that not everything is a conspiracy like some of the kooks around here believe. I’m also not surprised someone in Michigan wouldn’t hear some small local story about a gas spill in NC. Is it really hard to believe that a 5500 mile pipeline would spring a leak in a park in the middle of nowhere and it wouldn’t be noticed for a while? |

How does the receiving end get shorted a million gallons and not bitch up a fucking shitstorm? The data from the pumping stations on either side of the leak should have been setting off alarm bells to anyone reading it.

Did he actually lie about it or just spread erroneous information? The article states he initially reported 273,000 gallons, and then the city said 63,000 gallons. I’m assuming after looking at the scope of the cleanup the state said “hey this is more than 273,000 gallons” and then the company revised their numbers to over a million. Was the company told to lie and boost up those rookie numbers? Who knows, but I bet calculating how much gas is spilled into soil and water from a leaking line takes a while to figure out until you really start trying to clean it up. I’m imagine they are removing a lot of dirt at the spill site. |

That’s about a mile from where I grew up. It actually still smells like stale gas when you drive by. Kids that found it on four wheelers thought they were driving through a creek.

That pipeline runs through Guilford County just a few miles from where I live and right behind the fire station I used to work at. Within 100’ of the property line. We always saw a Colonial Pipeline plane or helicopter flying the lines at lease once a week looking for leaks. They keep the right of way mowed down and cleared so it’s not like they run through the woods at least in our area. Maybe different in the preserve. Also those lines are getting pretty old. I’m not sure but I think they were installed in the late 60’s, early 70’s? Not sure about that timeline. I know there are 3 lines that run through here. |
