Report: North Dakota Failed to Disclose Nearly 300 Oil Spills 
--------------------------------------------------------------


 
Internal records show North Dakota has kept silent on scores of oil
spills over the past two years. According to the Associated Press, North
Dakota has recorded nearly 300 oil spills since January 2012, but none
have been publicly disclosed. It took 11 days before North Dakota just
recently announced the Tesoro oil spill that dumped more than 20,000
barrels of crude. North Dakota is the nation's second largest oil
producer, with more than 17,500 miles of pipelines.
