Groups challenge Keystone XL over NEPA, endangered species
Environmentalists added a challenge to the stalled Keystone XL pipeline project yesterday with a lawsuit saying spills from the pipeline would harm endangered species such as the whooping crane and pallid sturgeon.
The Center for Biological Diversity, the Sierra Club and other groups filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana against the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Bureau of Land Management, saying the agencies should not have approved the pipeline.
