I have family in this area.

It is ranch country, and they are very concerned that the pipelines will leak and the clean up end up being on the land owners.

That has happened before when some of the smaller pipelines and refineries went under.

To be honest, they are very cautious about any easements out there. To much history and to little water.

Do you think they are treating this pipeline like others?

Don’t have family...but have friends who live in the area...ranchers. And they are very concerned about any leaks that cause damage to the little water that’s available. They are conservative folks...but are not very pro Keystone at all.

For myself...I’ve always been hesitant about the taking away property from land owners. I guess there are times it has to be done...but I don’t like it used for a foreign company.
