MAXBASS, N.D. (AP) - State officials are monitoring cleanup of a saltwater spill in Bottineau County.
The Oil and Gas Division says equipment failure was to blame for the spill of about 84,000 gallons of brine at a water injection well northwest of Maxbass. Saltwater is a byproduct of oil production.
Scout Energy Management reported the spill Monday and says all of the saltwater was contained within on-site diking and recovered. A state inspector visited the site.
