TransCanada refiles application in Nebraska for Keystone XL pipeline route
Feb 16, 2017 | 8:40 AM
CALGARY – TransCanada says it has refiled an application in Nebraska seeking approval for the Keystone XL pipeline route through the state, a hotbed of opposition to the project.
The company says the application with the Nebraska Public Service Commission is the clearest path to achieving route certainty, adding that it expects a decision on its application by the end of the year.
It says the proposed route was approved by the governor of Nebraska in 2013 and its application has been shaped by “direct, on-the-ground input from Nebraskans.”
Nebraska has been the site of some of the fiercest opposition to Keystone XL due to concerns that a spill could contaminate the Ogallala Aquifer.
