Five years later, Walsh County officials see no long-term impacts to site of Keystone Pipeline oil spill
When a pipeline ruptures and nearly 400,000 gallons of oil spill into North Dakota wetlands, you expect the story to focus on damage and blame.

Delaney Otto with Grand Forks Herald has the full story.
