Northeastern Kansas oil spill shuts down Keystone pipeline
Fox News
An oil spill in a creek in Washington County, Kansas, has led to the shutdown of the Keystone Pipeline, a key transporter of oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast.
The company on Thursday estimated the spill's size at about 14,000 barrels and said the affected pipeline segment had been "isolated" and the oil contained at the site with booms, or barriers. It did not say how the spill occurred.
"People are sometimes not aware of the havoc that these things can wreak until the disaster happens," said Zack Pistora, who lobbies the Kansas Legislature for the Sierra Club's state chapter.
