Opponents to the Keystone XL pipeline are asking for more information before South Dakota Water permits are granted for pipeline construction. Opposing parties want the Water Management Board to compel discovery from pipeline parent company TC Energy Corporation, previously known as TransCanada. These issues were the subject of a hearing held Wednesday, May 8, in Pierre to determine rules and scheduling for future hearings.
TransCanada announced its name change to TC Energy Corporation at its annual stockholders' meeting held May 3 in Calgary. The company says the new name reflects that its operations occur throughout North America.
