There are some deadlines looming for the routing of the Keystone XL pipeline in Nebraska.

Trans Canada has been waiting for approvals at the federal and state level before they can begin construction of the pipeline from Canada to the Gulf Coast.

Dave Aiken, a water and ag law specialist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln says one deadline comes up this week…

 

The Nebraska Supreme Court, in a split decision, let a lower court ruling stand allowing the process to move on. Aiken says any condemnation move would probably move everything back in court…

 

Aiken says Trans Canada does have some options…

 

All sides are still waiting for a decision from the President on the border crossing.
