Exxon Mobil Corp. says leak could extend far beyond 10-mile stretch… which was announced due to political pressure.
As cleanup of tens of thousands of gallons of spilled crude, Exxon Mobil Pipeline Co. vowed to do "whatever is necessary" to find and clean up oil from the pipeline that broke at the bottom of the river over the 4th of July weekend.
Company officials said that crews would begin walking the Yellowstone shoreline as soon as the flooding river recedes to look for pooled oil along the bank.
As of Monday, Exxon Mobil said it had received 36 calls to a hotline from landowners concerning oil on their property. In addition, a goat farmer and environmental activist said his partner was sickened by oil fumes and had to be taken to the emergency room.
