Keystone XL pipeline likely to face further delays after U.S. appeals court upholds lower court’s cancelling of permit GlobeBusiness

In this April 13, 2020, photo provided by TC Energy, a pipe storage yard with material for construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline is seen at a staging area along the U.S.-Canada border north of Glasgow, Mont. U.S.A U.S. appeals court in California on Thursday declined to suspend a lower court’s ruling that cancelled a national environmental permit, in a decision likely to delay pipeline projects, including the Keystone XL oil pipeline.

The Army Corps and TC Energy had sought a stay of an April 15 ruling by Chief U.S. District Judge Brian Morris of the District Court in Montana that cancelled the so-called Nationwide Permit 12, which allows dredging work on pipelines across water bodies.Morris said then that the Army Corps did not adequately consult with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on risks to endangered species and habitat when it renewed the permit in 2017.

Former President Barack Obama had killed the $8 billion project over climate change concerns. President Donald Trump resurrected the 830,000 barrels-per-day project two months after taking office in 2017.
