Listen • 1:22 Federal regulators have warned that the entire 5,500 mile length of the Colonial Pipeline could be a risk for gasoline spills like the one in Huntersville last August. New mapping shows gasoline contamination from a spill on the Colonial Pipeline north of Charlotte last summer goes deeper into the soil than previously reported. That news comes as federal officials warn that similar leaks could happen elsewhere along the 5,500-mile pipeline from Texas to New Jersey. At least 1.2 million gallons of gasoline spilled last August from a broken section of the pipeline east of downtown Huntersville. The leak was discovered by two teens who were riding all-terrain vehicles in the Oehler Nature Preserve, off Huntersville-Concord Road. It s the largest spill of its kind in North Carolina and one of the largest in the nation.
