The pipeline company responsible for the largest-ever inland oil spill was sentenced to pay a $15 million fine for negligently dumping more than 700,000 barrels of waste product into US waters in 2014, according to the US Justice Department.

In a statement, the Justice Department said that "the pipeline company responsible for the discharge of 29 million gallons of oil-contaminated ‘produced water’ – a waste product of hydraulic fracturing – was sentenced to pay a $15 million criminal fine and serve a three year period of probation today by US District Court Judge Daniel M. Traynor in Williston, North Dakota."
