A supplemental environmental report has been to the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ) for the preferred alternative route for the Keystone XL Pipeline in Nebraska, US.
TransCanada president and chief executive officer Russ Girling said the company has refined its proposed routing of the Keystone XL Pipeline on the feedback from the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality and the public.
"The preferred alternative route in this Supplemental Environmental Report was developed based on extensive feedback from Nebraskans and reflects our shared desire to minimize the disturbance of land and sensitive resources in the state," said Girling.
The company said the preferred alternative route and additional information presented in the SER addresses public feedback for the pipeline corridor.
The route has now been modified; the SER identifies three significant route modifications; the Northern Alternative, Clarks Alternative and Western Alternative.
"Both the route identified in April and the current preferred alternative route can support the safe construction and operation of the pipeline.
