South Dakota Regulators Hold Hearing On Keystone XL Pipeline

Associated Press0

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The South Dakota Public Utilities Commission is hearing from the public about the Keystone XL oil pipeline project.

The hearing at the state Capitol in Pierre on Monday is expected to last three hours.

PUC Chairman Chris Nelson says the input will help the panel formulate questions during the pipeline project process.

The pipeline would cut through South Dakota and other states to move Canadian oil to the Gulf Coast.

The utilities commission approved the pipeline’s route through South Dakota in 2010. But the project has to go before the commission again since construction hasn’t started within four years of being permitted.

A final hearing on the South Dakota portion of the project is scheduled to begin at the end of the month.
