The review for U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration highlights growing questions by legislators about whether such permits contribute to spills
The review for U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration highlights growing questions by legislators about whether such permits contribute to spills. The most recent major spill occurred this month in rural Kansas along Keystone, the only U.S. oil pipeline with a special permit to operate at higher pressure.
The review includes the program itself and individual permits, including Keystone’s, the source said. The 2021 report to Congress by the U.S. Government Accountability Office found that TC Energy performed worse than nationwide averages in the previous five years due to major spills in 2017 and 2019. PHMSA allowed Keystone to run at higher pressure than other pipelines starting in 2017, subject to 51 conditions.
The 2017 Keystone incident near Amherst, South Dakota spilled 6,592 barrels of oil, caused by a crack originating from damage during construction.
