BILLINGS, Mont., Oct. 6 (UPI) -- Exxon Mobil did a shoddy job of responding to an oil spill in the Yellowstone River after its Silvertip pipeline burst in July, an attorney said.
Around 1,200 barrels of oil spilled from Exxon Mobil's Silvertip pipeline into the Yellowstone River near Billings, Mont., in early July. Flooding slowed cleanup efforts and teams were sent in to remove debris soaked with oil after water levels dropped.
