According to The Associated Press, some wetlands appear to have been affected by the oil leak, but not any sources of drinking water.
There are no estimates of volume or how much land may have been affected.
A segment of the pipeline in Missouri was shut down in early February for nearly two weeks after a leak of about a dozen barrels of oil was discovered.
