TransCanada ordered to inspect part of Keystone pipeline
— TransCanada Corp. is digging up a portion of the Keystone oil pipeline in South Dakota after an inspection identified potential issues with the pipeline’s coating. The federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is ordering the energy company to further inspect the route north of Britton, said Brian Walsh, spokesman for the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources. TransCanada spokesman Matthew John said crews are conducting “standard monitoring and inspections” of the pipeline, which carries crude oil more than 2,600 miles from Alberta, Canada, to Oklahoma and Illinois. The Keystone pipeline section being investigated is about 15 miles north of where a crack last year caused an estimated 407,000 gallons of oil to spill near Amherst in Marshall County.
