Keystone Pipeline resumes operating after oil spill in North Dakota

The Keystone Pipeline is back in operation — but not at full strength. After an oil spill earlier this month near Fort Ransom, North Dakota, federal regulators approved a cautious restart of the line at reduced pressure. About 147,000 gallons of oil spilled into a farm field, with cleanup crews recovering roughly a third so far. The damaged section of pipe has been replaced and will undergo further testing. Regulators and company officials will continue monitoring the site as cleanup efforts move forward. Amy Dalrymple with North Dakota Monitor has the full story.
