U.S. State Department Seeks Public Comment on Keystone XL Pipeline

If you worry about the Keystone XL's impact on the environment, here's your chance to voice your opposition. The State Department has given the public until  April 22 to give feedback.

From the State Department:
The Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement has been prepared consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The document is a draft technical review of potential environmental impacts. The Draft SEIS includes a comprehensive review of the new route in Nebraska as well as any significant new circumstances or information that is now available on the largely unchanged route in Montana and South Dakota. It also expands and updates information that had been included in the 2011 Final Environmental Impact Statement that was prepared for the previous Keystone XL application. It does not make any recommendations on whether the pipeline should be approved or denied. Once the Draft SEIS has been published by the EPA, the public will have 45 days to comment on the document. Those comments can be addressed to the following mailbox: keystonecomments@state.gov."  For more information, please go to http://www.keystonepipeline-xl.state.gov/.
