The Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) has given conditional approval to Plains Midstream Canada to resume operations of the NPS 20 Rainbow Pipeline in Alberta, Canada.
The pipeline, which runs from Zama to Edmonton, ruptured in April 2011 and at least 28,000 barrels of crude spilled into a muskeg.
