The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has told the company building the massive Rover natural gas pipeline project to stop HDD operations after another spill of clay-based slurry.
It is being reported that the EPA Director Craig Butler has asked Energy Transfer Partners, the Dallas-based company building the US$4.2 billion project, to halt drilling after 200 gallons of slurry spilled into a river in Ashland County on 16 November.
