English: A burst oil pipeline caused a large oil spill into the San Juan River, in southeastern Utah (Southwestern U.S.) in 1972.

285,000 U.S. gallons of crude oil flowed 200 miles (320 km) downstream through Utah, before being temporarily contained by an oil containment boom in Monument Valley, in October 1972.
Later, winter floods caused much of the oil to overflow the boom into Lake Powell reservoir on the Colorado River.
The Texas-New Mexico Pipeline Company was responsible, but five Government agencies were also involved in the clean-up in the Canyon Lands region.
