BELLINGHAM, Wash. (AP) — The Trans Mountain pipeline has suffered an oil spill at a Canadian pump station about 10 miles north of Sumas, Washington that caused a temporary shut down.
The Bellingham Herald reported the pipeline sprung a leak near Abbotsford, British Columbia on Saturday.
The pipeline carries about 300,000 barrels of crude oil and fuel each day through Canada and Washington state. Trans Mountain Corporation says the leak released between 940 and 1,200 barrels of crude oil that was contained on Trans Mountain property.
