North Dakota Pipeline Leaks 176,000 Gallons of Crude Oil

On Dec. 5, 150 miles from where protesters in North Dakota stood their ground, keeping the Dakota Access pipeline from being built near the sacred land of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, a pipeline leaked 176,000 gallons of crude oil, reports CNN.

130,000 gallons of the spilled oil leaked into Ash Coulee Creek, located in Billings County, N.D., and cold weather is hindering the ability of workers to quickly clean it up.
