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.

The state Attorney General's Office earlier this month sued Energy Transfer claiming the company had committed numerous environmental violations in more than a dozen counties. The EPA earlier fined the company US$2.3 million over previous spills.
