The ExxonMobil pipeline that ruptured in Mayflower, Ark., has now been removed and sent to an independent lab for third-party testing while cleanup of the 5,000-barrel spill continues.
The 52-ft section of the Pegasus pipeline was lifted out April 15 but the cause of the spill remains under investigation, according to ExxonMobil. It is not known when the pipe testing will be completed.
