Colerain Fire Department crews were dispatched at about 8 p.m. Monday after getting reports of an oil smell, and found “petroleum product” in the Oak Glen Nature Preserve near Blue Rock Road.
The Mid Valley Pipeline Company was called to repair the 20-inch pipeline's damage.
The pipeline, which stretches across the United States, was shut down at about 12:20 a.m. Tuesday. By 5 a.m., crews contained the leak and began repair work.
Crews believe about 10,000 gallons of crude oil spilled, but they've yet to figure out why the pipeline ruptured. The Department of Transportation said they'll begin investigating Wednesday....
