    Rick Snyder was elected Governor of Michigan in 2010. He took office in January 2011. There is no excuse at all for the failure of this Governor or the President Barack Obama or the EPA to have allowed for anything except an immediate clean-up of this spill. This just shows the inadequacy of the EPA. They not only failed the state of Michigan on this oil spill, they failed the people of Michigan when it failed to demand an immediate solution to the Flint Water Problem.

    Trump will fix this. Instead of focusing attention on minor ground water contamination while allowing poisoned water to be sold to resident of Flint, Michigan or force Enbridge to clean up this oil spill under supervision by EPA is a crime and these people including the brain-dead at EPA ALL need to go to jail. Throw Obama in there with them.

    Require American made steel, the good stuff, the best steel you can buy, long pipes, limit the seams. Trump's got this. He's already made this a requirement of the Keystone XL Pipeline and Dakota Access Pipelines. American products, American workers.

    Where has the CORRUPT MEDIA been for the past 5 years? First I've ever heard of this oil spill, artist! Thank you so much for posting the video.

    I have confidence in Trump on a host of subjects, but environmental protection is not one of them.

    Then you will be pleasantly surprised. Trump can't stand a mess. He's a neat freak, a germophobe. That's why he's requiring American steel, long long pipes for the construction of the Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipelines and American Workers.

    “All pipelines are politics and money”

    U.S. sees no adverse impact from Alberta Clipper pipeline





    BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — After a four-year review, the U.S. State Department on Friday said it does not believe there would be significant negative environmental impact from a Canadian company’s plan to boost the capacity of an oil pipeline that crosses the U.S. border in northeastern North Dakota.

    Calgary, Alberta-based Enbridge Energy Partners asked the State Department in 2012 for a presidential permit to transport 800,000 barrels daily on an existing 3-mile section of pipeline on the company’s Alberta Clipper pipeline that carries tar sand oil from Canada across northeastern North Dakota and northern Minnesota to Superior, Wisconsin.

    The State Department’s supplemental environmental impact statement announced Friday was “coincidental” to President Donald Trump’s action to advance the Keystone XL and Dakota Access oil pipelines, Enbridge spokeswoman Lorraine Little said.


    “It’s been long process to get to this point,” Little said. “It is what it is.”

    Todd Leake, a Sierra Club spokesman in North Dakota, said he believes Trump’s fingerprints are all over the State Department conclusion.

    “All pipelines are politics and money,” said Leake, who farms about 80 miles from where the pipeline crosses into the U.S. near Neche, North Dakota. “All recent approvals of these pipelines go right back to the Trump administration.”

    The State Department is taking public comment on its draft environmental impact statement for 45 days, until March 27. The State Department issues presidential permits for projects that cross the U.S.-Canadian border.

    The Alberta Clipper pipeline, which also is known as “Line 67” was completed in 2009 at a cost of about $1 billion. The company wants permission to expand its current capacity on the line where it crosses the international border from about 450,000 barrels daily to 800,000 barrels a day.

    While awaiting the nod from the U.S. government, the company has been rerouting the additional barrels through a 1960s-era pipeline along the same route for the 3 miles.




    That pipeline already has a presidential permit. If approved by the U.S government, the Alberta Clipper would transport the additional tar sands oil without being transferred, and the old pipeline would be rebuilt, Little said.

    Opponents argue that oil sands extraction exacerbates global warming because it takes more energy to produce and generates more carbon dioxide.

    The Keystone XL, which had languished for years under the administration of President Barack Obama, also is designed to carry Canadian tar sands oil, and Trump last month invited its builder, TransCanada, to resubmit its application to the State Department for a presidential permit, and the company has said that it will.

    Trump also last month instructed the Army Corps of Engineers to advance work on the Dakota Access pipeline. Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners on Wednesday got final permission from the Army to proceed with a crossing of the Missouri River in southern North Dakota.

    The work on the $3.8 billion project had been stalled for months due to opposition by American Indian groups and their supporters.

    Just so you'll know, most of both pipelines were finished before Trump got involved.

    Keystone Pipeline leaks 383,000 gallons of oil in North Dakota

    By Lauren M. Johnson, CNN
    Updated 8:32 PM ET, Thu October 31, 2019

    (CNN) Part of the Keystone 1 Pipeline in North Dakota was shut down after a leak of about 9,120 barrels of oil -- 383,040 gallons -- was discovered, TC Energy company said in a statement.


    Keystone pipeline leak


    The oil leak was discovered just north of Edinburg, in the northeast part of the state, and affected about 2,500 square yards of land, the company said. A drop in pressure was detected on Tuesday, and the pipeline was immediately shut down, the company said.

    The company is not sure how the leak started, but says an independent party is examining the pipeline.


    "We are establishing air quality, water and wildlife monitoring and will continue monitoring throughout the response. There have been no reported injuries or impacted wildlife," TC Energy said.


    "The safety of the public and environment are our top priorities and we will continue to provide updates as they become available."


    The North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality said the spill impacted a wetland area. "Personnel from the NDDEQ are at the site and will continue to monitor the investigation and remediation," the department said in a news release.


    The Indigenous Environmental Network, an environmental justice nonprofit group, responded to the spill with concern.


    "This is exactly the kind of spill we are worried about when it comes to Keystone XL being built. It has never been if a pipeline breaks but rather when," said Joye Braun, Indigenous Environmental Network frontline community organizer.


    The organization criticized the company, saying that it hasn't done enough to secure the infrastructure of the pipeline.


    Pipeline protests



    The Keystone Pipeline system stretches more than 2,600 miles from Alberta, Canada, east into Manitoba and then south to Texas.

    Keystone 1 refers to phase one of the Keystone Pipeline that starts in Alberta and runs through North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri to refineries in Illinois and Oklahoma. Phase one started operating in 2011.


    The controversial Keystone XL pipeline would begin in Alberta and extend south to Steele City, Nebraska. The company says it hopes to start construction in 2020.


    The pipelines have sparked months-long protests.

    In 2017, a spill exposed 210,000 gallons of oil in South Dakota. As many as 10,000 people participated during the peak of the demonstrations.


    Clashes with police at the protests turned violent at times, with one woman nearly losing her arm after an explosion in November 2016.
