The U.S. State Department failed to properly analyze potential environmental impacts of TransCanada Corp.’s planned pipeline to carry crude from Canada to the Gulf Coast, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
The department’s review of the $7 billion project lacks information the EPA needs to assess effects on groundwater or air pollution, according to a letter sent to Jose Fernandez, assistant secretary for economic, energy and business affairs. The State Department is reviewing the project because it crosses an international boundary.
