ExxonMobil Corp. agreed to pay more than $5 million, including a federal fine, as part of a settlement for the 2013 rupture of a pipeline in Arkansas that was carrying oil sands from Canada.
Exxon’s Pegasus pipeline failed in March 2013, spewing 134,000 gallons of oil in a suburban housing development near Mayflower, Arkansas. The pipeline hasn’t been used since then.
