Small town evacuated after oil train derails in North Dakota-Reuters By Ernest Scheyder and Edward McAllister-MAY 6,15-YAHOONEWS
WILLISTON, N.D./NEW YORK (Reuters) - A BNSF train carrying crude oil derailed and caught fire in Wells County, North Dakota, on Wednesday, just days after the United States and Canada announced sweeping reforms to improve safety of the volatile shipments.About 40 residents from the nearby tiny town of Heimdal were evacuated after as many as 10 tank cars came off the rails, fire officials and the state's emergency management agency said.There were no injuries, officials said.A photo posted on Facebook by a local radio station showed flames and heavy black smoke billowing from several tank cars that had derailed in a field.But the scope of the blaze appeared limited. A woman working at JW's Restaurant Bar & Grill in nearby Harvey, North Dakota, said by telephone she couldn't see any sign of the fire and was aware of the derailment only because she had seen it on social media. Light rain was falling nearby.Heimdal is located along one of the main rail lines heading east out of the state's giant Bakken oil patch. About two-thirds of all North Dakota oil production is shipped by rail, three-quarters of that to refiners on the U.S. East Coast.
"We are aware of crude derailment and resulting fire near Heimdal, ND. We have investigators on their way. Will update when we know more," Sarah Feinberg, acting administrator at the Federal Railroad Administration, said in a message on Twitter.In a statement, BNSF confirmed the derailment and fire occurred and that there were no injuries.Just last Friday, the U.S. Department of Transportation and Canada's Transport Ministry announced new rules for oil trains, including phasing out older tank cars, adding electronic braking systems and imposing speed limits. The measures were all meant to reduce the frequency and severity of oil train crashes.BNSF said the tank cars involved were unjacketed CPC-1232 models, which the new rules will render obsolete within five years.Heimdal is one of the many small towns that dot the central North Dakota landscape and have co-existed with rail lines for decades. It has only seven streets and directly abuts the BNSF line, which has a spur to offload grain and other commodities.
FIRE COULD BE LEFT TO BURN OUT
It was not immediately clear how state officials planned to respond to the fire or if the crude involved had high levels of combustible natural gas liquids. Highway patrol officials were at the scene alongside local fire departments."In the past we've just let these burn out," said Cecily Fong of the state's Department of Emergency Services.New state rules that took effect last month mandate that most NGLs be removed from oil before shipment, though Fong said the quality of the crude involved in this derailment is not known at this time.The derailment occurred early Wednesday morning between Hamburg and Heimdal. The locomotive engine and roughly 99 tank cars not affected were unhitched and moved away, Fong said.On the non- jacketed CPC-1232s - involved in Wednesday's derailment - William Furman, chief executive of railcar manufacturer Greenbrier Cos, said in a recent interview that they are as dangerous as older cars if they derail and ignite, causing a ripple effect of fire and explosions."If they roll, release and ignite from friction or drag, they will ignite others that aren't jacketed or insulated," Furman said. "One car burning will crease torch effect that will burn through the other cars, that car heats, and it blows up like a Coke bottle in a microwave oven."Greenbrier has been marketing a more fortified railcar with thicker steel, head shields and protected valves and fittings for more than a year, and the design matches the new standard adopted for crude railcars by U.S. regulators last week.The volume of crude oil by rail has rocketed in recent years as production increases from areas like North Dakota outpaced new pipeline development.A spate of explosive accidents have accompanied that growth, the worst of which occurred in July 2013 when a train derailed in the town of Lac Megantic in Canada, killing 47 people.Already this year, five trains have derailed and caught fire in the United States and Canada, all in rural areas. No deaths have occurred but the accidents have stoked concerns about the safety of crude oil by rail.(Reporting By Ernest Scheyder and New York Energy desk; Additional reporting by Kristen Hays in Houston; Editing by Frances Kerry)
Official: 'Significant' brine spill enters North Dakota lake-By KEVIN BURBACH-May. 6, 2015 2:39 PM EDT-ap
A 63,000-gallon saltwater spill that leaked from an underground pipeline entered a lake via a tributary in northwest North Dakota, a state Department of Health official said Wednesday. He said the spill will not affect any drinking water in the area.Water Quality Director Karl Rockeman said it's unclear how much of the saltwater has entered Smishek Lake near the town of Powers Lake, which is about 75 miles northeast of the oil boomtown Williston. Saltwater, or brine, is an unwanted byproduct of oil production and is considered an environmental hazard by North Dakota. It is many times saltier than sea water and can easily kill vegetation.The most recent spill is "significant," Rockeman said, but it still pales next to a massive pipeline spill in January that leaked nearly 3 million gallons of brine, some of which reached two creeks and the Missouri River. Officials have said cleanup of that spill could take from several months to years."This (latest) one will take some time to get it addressed. This is a significant spill and it will take some work to get that cleaned up," Rockeman said. The spill won't have an impact on drinking water, Rockeman said.Oasis Petroleum, which owns and operates the pipeline, is responsible for cleaning up the spill and has been at the site along with crews from the state Department of Health and the North Dakota Oil and Gas Division.In a statement, Oasis said it was notified of the leak from its North Cottonwood pipeline on Monday and by 4:30 p.m. had found the source of the leak and stopped the flow. No injuries have been reported.The company estimates that about 1,500 barrels of saltwater were released from the underground pipeline, which is almost 2 miles from Smishek Lake. It said preliminary field test do not indicate any adverse effects to the lake itself or its aquatic life.About 4,000 barrels of liquid have been recovered from the area, but that amount includes fresh water and salt water, Rockeman said. It's unclear how much saltwater has been recovered.The spill was initially reported to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency via the National Response Center. The EPA has not yet responded to a call for comment.
