Oil spill estimate jumps to almost 17K gallons- Freeman, South Dakota

"TransCanada has increased the estimated size of an oil spill near Freeman to a "potential volume” of 16,800 gallons, or 400 barrels."

"TransCanada spokesman Mark Cooper issued a news release Thursday saying the company still has about 100 workers on the site working around the clock to pinpoint the source of the leak in the pipeline, which was shut down upon the spill’s discovery."

They haven't even found where the leak is as of yet. This is fine farmland that is being poisoned.
