SALT LAKE CITY -- A leak in an oil pipeline is spilling close to 50 gallons of crude oil per minute, according to the Salt Lake City Fire Department.

The leak is located near Red Butte Garden near the University of Utah.

The oil is spilling into Red Butte Creek.

"We've set up containment ponds all down the creek," said the fire department's spokesperson Scott Freitag. "Our worry is that if this continues to leak, it could get into the Jordan River and the Great Salt Lake."

The oil belongs to Chevron and comes from their Colorado pipeline.

As of 10 a.m. Saturday, the pipeline still has not been shut off....(cont.)
