Keystone Pipeline Cushing Extension Oil Spill Remediation

proposed settlement

The project involves cleanup and remediation efforts following a 2022 oil spill from the Keystone Pipeline's Cushing Extension in Washington County, Kansas. The spill released approximately 543,000 gallons of oil, impacting land and water, killing or affecting over 2,700 animals, and contaminating the environment. The cleanup included treating contaminated surface water, recovering leaked oil, and removing contaminated soil, sediment, and debris. The settlement includes a civil penalty and funding for projects to prevent future spills and restore natural resources.
