Trucks are hauling oil-drenched soil to a landfill near Omaha. Crews are building a five-acre pond to continue treating contaminated water.
In the two months since the Keystone pipeline erupted in Washington County, Mill Creek has gone from being coated in floating oil nearly a foot deep, to a layer less than one inch.
About four miles of the creek remain shut off from the normal flow of water as part of the ongoing, round-the-clock cleanup.
Workers have pulled nearly 2 million gallons of oily water out of Mill Creek, carrying on in freezing temperatures by breaking and melting ice.
