Keystone Pipeline shut down after leak in North Dakota
A major oil pipeline running from Canada through the Midwest is shut down today after a leak was discovered in Barnes County, North Dakota. South Bow, the operator of the Keystone Pipeline, reported a drop in pressure early Tuesday morning, triggering the shutdown. About 147,000 gallons of oil spilled into a farm field near Fort Ransom State Park. Cleanup is underway, and federal investigators are en route to the site. Officials say the oil has been contained, but the full impact is still being assessed. Jeff Beach with North Dakota Monitor has the full story.
