Pipeline Spill Settlement in Kansas | Bangor News

A record-breaking oil spill from a Keystone pipeline in Kansas is settling for $3 million in environmental repairs — no admission of fault from the company, South Bow, which spun off from TC Energy this year. The spill, which dumped oil equivalent to an Olympic pool, devastated local ecosystems, killed or injured over 2,700 animals including endangered bats, and triggered a massive cleanup. The EPA says the penalty reflects the severity of the damage, while investigators found the pipeline’s weak spot had been under stress since 2010 — and was never properly repaired after being dug up in 2013. No humans were harmed, and water supplies remained safe. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
