Keystone Pipeline Leaks Over<br />300,000 Gallons of Oil .<br />A portion of the Keystone Pipeline in Edinburg,<br />North Dakota, had to be shut down on Oct. 29,<br />after a crude oil leak was detected.<br />According to a statement released by the North Dakota<br />Department of Environmental Quality, 9,120 barrels,<br />or about 383,000 gallons of oil, were spilled. .<br />TC Energy reports that there have been<br />“no reported injuries or impacted wildlife,”<br />and that an internal investigation to determine<br />the spill’s cause is currently taking place. .<br />Although the spill did not occur on the<br />hotly debated Keystone XL pipeline, many<br />activists fear it is a sign of what's to come. .<br />This is exactly the kind of spill we are worried<br />about when it comes to the Keystone XL<br />being built. It has never been if a pipeline<br />breaks but rather when, Joyce Braun, Indigenous Environmental<br />Network, via ‘Time’.<br />Catherine Collentine of the Sierra Club<br />shared similar sentiments, saying “TC Energy<br />has made [their] case for [them].”.<br />We don’t yet know the extent of the damage from<br />this latest tar sands spill, but what we do know is<br />that this is not the first time this pipeline has<br />spilled toxic tar sands, and it won’t be the last …<br />We’ve always said it’s not a question of whether<br />a pipeline will spill, but when, and once again<br />TC Energy has made our case for us, Catherine Collentine, via 'Time'
