CROSBY, N.D. – The North Dakota Public Service Commission will hold a public hearing on Monday for a crude oil pipeline proposed by a company cleaning up after a major saltwater pipeline spill near Williston.
Meadowlark Midstream Co. proposes to construct a 46-mile pipeline to transport up to 50,000 barrels of oil per day in Divide and Burke counties in northwest North Dakota.
The pipeline would carry crude from the Divide Pump Station, about 10 miles southeast of Fortuna, to the Basin Transload Rail Facility about 2 miles southeast of Columbus. The $33 million project would include the construction of one above-ground tank with a storage capacity of 400 barrels.
The hearing is at 9:30 a.m. Monday in the Crosby Community Center, 1002 2nd St. S.E. The public can provide comment at the meeting, but information received after the hearing will not be part of the official record.
Meadowlark Midstream is under investigation by the North Dakota Industrial Commission and the North Dakota Department of Health for a pipeline leak that released nearly 3 million gallons of brine near Blacktail Creek north of Williston.
