Colonial Pipeline

The North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality says it's filed a lawsuit seeking to force Colonial Pipeline to meet obligations resulting from a gasoline spill that was found to be far worse than the company initially reported.

Saturday marks one year since the discovery of a massive gasoline spill on the Colonial Pipeline in Huntersville, north of Charlotte. Officials say they're still researching the extent of the spill and they aren't sure how long it will take to clean up. As one of the largest gasoline spills on land in the United States, it continues to raise concerns from neighbors and officials from Huntersville to Raleigh to Washington, D.C.

Climate activists gathered in downtown Huntersville Sunday afternoon and later staged an overnight protest at the home of U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis. Members of Sunrise Movement NC said they want more climate-friendly infrastructure investments and action against Colonial Pipeline over a massive August 2020 gasoline spill in Huntersville.

Colonial Pipeline faces a fine of $200,000 a day if it fails to improve the way it detects leaks in its U.S. pipeline system following a massive gasoline leak in North Carolina, according to an agreement with the U.S. Department of Transportation.

After more than 71% of stations in North Carolina were without gas last week, fuel availability is improving in the state. However, prices, specifically in the Triangle, are nearing record highs.

State and federal officials are scrambling to find alternate routes to deliver gasoline in the Southeast U.S. due to a cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline.

The estimated size of the largest gasoline pipeline spill in North Carolina history keeps growing. Colonial Pipeline now estimates that nearly 1.2 million gallons of gasoline spilled when a pipeline ruptured in a Huntersville nature preserve last August.
