Several lawmakers said they are nervous about the pipeline in the Wichita area, in an area that began experiencing an increase in earthquakes in 2013
State lawmakers worried Tuesday that southern Kansas is vulnerable to oil spills from the Keystone pipeline system because earthquakes have become more frequent there, as they questioned an executive for the pipeline’s operator about a massive spill in northeastern Kansas in December.
But several lawmakers said they are nervous about the pipeline in the Wichita area, about 260 kilometres south of the Washington County spill site. The area began experiencing an increase in earthquakes in 2013, after Keystone opened its Kansas pipeline segment, tied to activities associated with hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in oil and natural gas production.
Salsman acknowledged that he’s not an expert on the topic, but added: “When we design pipeline, we take all of those factors into consideration and I would think that, that was part of our design criteria.” Concerns that spills could pollute waterways spurred opposition to plans by TC Energy to build another crude oil pipeline in the same system, the 1,900-kilometer Keystone XL, across Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska. President Joe Biden’s cancellation of a permit led the company to pull the plug on the project in 2021.
