[Cinnabar]

The controversial Keystone Pipeline has leaked over 383,000 gallons of crude oil in North Dakota, fueling opposition to pipeline expansions.



Gee...who woulda thunk it..

North Dakota environmental scientist Bill Suess said Monday that an affected portion of the 30-inch (76-centimeter) underground steel pipeline was dug up and replaced "over the weekend."

Suess said cleanup crews remained at the site on Monday. Some wetlands were affected, but not any sources of drinking water, he said.

TC Energy has said about 200 people were at the site working around the clock to clean up the spill. The company said about 285,600 gallons of crude oil has been recovered.

Thanks PMP.

That racist, class warfarist Cinnaboob failed to mention it was Blackface Trudeau's oil that spilled, ... and that she was recycling an old story to jack up energy prices on the poor.

"Canadian crude oil is once again moving through a pipeline nearly two weeks after the line leaked an estimated 383,000 gallons of oil in North Dakota.

Calgary, Alberta-based TC Energy, formerly known as TransCanada, said in a statement that the Keystone pipeline "returned to service" Sunday after approval of a repair and restart plan by the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.

The company said it is still investigating the cause of the leak it reported Oct. 29 that affected about 22,500 square feet (2,090 square meters) of land near Edinburg, in northeastern North Dakota."

22,500 square feet. Around 1/2 an acre. Who knew the entire U.S. water supply was on 1/2 an acre in N. Dakota?

Go drink some. And since when is N. Dakota not part of the USA? Because it does not affect you? Again, go drink some.
In fact, drink a few gallons and then bottle some and bring it home to share with family and friends.

Look, it, not my problem you do not understand anything and are uneducated. Democrats love people like you, that is how they stay in office. Besides, no one from NYC should be saying shit about pollution.

NY has one of the greenest policies and agendas in the USA and the most stringent water supply laws.

Look bimbo, I get to that shithole way to often. I can assure you the oil leaking from cars, the shit and trash in the streets etc, that get washed into the Hudson after just a single rain storm is more than this spill. Once again, pipe down you uneducated NYC puke.

that affected about 22,500 square feet (2,090 square meters) of land

for the benefit of our unfortunate lib'rul friends who only rent, that's approximately one half an acre or about the size of a lot on which those more fortunate than them build houses......

The Greenpoint oil spill is one of the largest oil spills ever recorded in the United States. Located around Newtown Creek in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City, between 17 and 30 million US gallons (64,000 and 114,000 m3) of oil and petroleum products have leaked into the soil from crude oil processing facilities over a period of several decades.[1]

although it was first discovered in 1979, seepage continues....

In 2007 a report by the United States Environmental Protection Agency on the spill raised the estimated size of the contaminated area to 100 acres (0.40 km2) and the estimated spillage volume to 30 million US gallons (110,000 m3), three times larger than the Exxon Valdez spill. The report also criticized the recovery efforts and a recent slowdown of the clean up.[4]
