US officials reject the oil company’s request for a rethink on the fine imposed after a pipeline spilled 63,000 gallons of crude into the river
US officials have rejected Exxon Mobil’s request to reconsider a $1m penalty imposed against the oil company over a 63,000-gallon crude spill into Montana’s Yellowstone river.
The US Department of Transportation on Friday ordered the Texas company to pay the penalty within 20 days at a hearing in Billings, Montana.
