Repairs to the Keystone pipeline in Hutchinson County are done, but cleanup is continuing.
The crude oil pipeline sprang a leak early last month, and eventually spilled about four hundred barrels of crude oil in and on farmland south of Freeman.

Trans Canada spokesman Matthew John says a new section of pipeline has been welded in place…..

John says their crews are working to replace the contaminated soil…..

John says they don’t have a total yet of the soil that was removed from the leak site…..

The contaminated soil was taken to a disposal site in Minnesota.
