Related Water Protectors Were Right: DAPL Already Leaking as ND Pipelines Spill Oil Every 12 Hours

A pipeline carrying tar sands oil into the United States from Canada has reportedly leaked an unknown amount of oil across North Dakota. The pipeline’s owner, TC Energy—formerly known as TransCanada—shut down the pipeline as a result of the leak.
“TC Energy immediately began the process to shut down the pipeline, activated its emergency response procedures and dispatched ground technicians to assess the situation,” the company said.
According to State Environmental Quality Chief Dave Glatt, regulators were notified of the crude oil leak near the town of Edinburg in northeastern North Dakota late on Tuesday after detecting a drop in pressure. The oil was reportedly leaked over an area that regulators have estimated to be about 1,500 feet long by 15 feet wide as of Wednesday afternoon.

The Calgary, Alberta-based company is working to contain the spill, the cause of which is currently under investigation. Area roads are closed as the clean-up and investigation continues.
According to Glatt, area drinking water was not affected by the spill though some wetlands were affected.
It is unclear when the leak began and for low long it has been leaking.

At a cost of $5.2 billion, the 590,000-barrel-per-day Keystone pipeline, which began pumping crude oil in 2010, is part of a 2,687-mile system that would include the Keystone XL pipeline, if approved.
Just yesterday, tribal officer Kip Spotted Eagle told a South Dakota state panel that the proposed Keystone XL pipeline should not be allowed to divert water from three rives in South Dakota. The Yankton Sioux Tribe historic preservation officer said the proposed pipeline project could infringe on tribes’ hunting and fishing.
The $8 billion project is seeking permits to use water from the Cheyenne, White, and Bad rivers in South Dakota. The state’s Department of Environment and Natural Resources has recommended the board grant the permits.

Oil spills can easily be cleaned up by bacteria. This is no big deal at all. We have used it to clean up service station and fuel depots. God gave us the tools to cleanup any oil/gas/tar/coal mess….inexpensive and fast. So lets not make a big deal about something so easily remedied.

Agreed. We talked about this kind of bacterial in this article

How many years has the military guarded advanced technology?
And….
isn’t this what all the protests were about in the OBAMA YEARS?
I NEVER felt good about this project or any pipeline project.
Our technology is far to regressive and the installation is usually too quick ($$) and obviously sloppy.
Now let’s wait…..drum roll….
for the excuses, and
NOT ME’s.
