A directional drilling rig working on the Rover Pipeline leaked a bunch of drilling fluid while it was drilling under the Tuscarawas River a little while ago.  This article from WMFD.com, a local news outlet, is a follow up story highlighting the efforts to clean the mess up and some doubts by the landowner as to whether the clean up is going well.

The Rover representative quoted in the article downplayed the seriousness of the spill, of course.  The Ohio EPA will still be levying fines and monitoring the clean up, so I guess it’s serious enough for that.

We previously noted that Rover is off to a pretty bad start and that all of it’s mistakes are going to shake confidence in the pipeline industry.  We haven’t seen anything to change that opinion yet.
