South Bow, the operator of the Keystone Pipeline system, has agreed to pay a $26.9 million civil penalty and spend about $40 million on preventive measures to resolve allegations from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Kansas over a December 2022 oil spill. The rupture dumped nearly 13,000 barrels of heavy crude oil into a creek in Washington County, Kansas, making it the largest onshore crude pipeline spill in the U.S. in nine years. South Bow will also pay Kansas more than $3 million for environmental restoration projects under a proposed consent decree filed in U.S. District Court in Kansas, which requires judicial approval after a 30-day public comment period. The company, spun off from TC Energy in 2024, said it has since conducted over 12,000 miles of pipeline inspections and 400 excavations to strengthen integrity.
