An oil spill from a major pipeline in rural Kansas has reportedly dumped at least 14,000 barrels of crude oil into a nearby river.
Canadian firm TC Energy, which operates the Keystone pipeline system in the United States, confirmed it shut down its pipeline in Kansas as it began cleanup and recovery efforts.
The Environmental Protection Agency announced it was investigating the leak, as well as the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, who ordered the Kansas segment to remain shut down. The construction and expansion of the Keystone pipelines has proven controversial in the last decade. The Kansas section of the pipeline has seen three major oil spills dumping over 1,000 barrels since it was completed in 2010.
