Environmental groups sue over Keystone pipeline approval
Six environmental groups file a lawsuit against the Trump administration in a Montana federal court to challenge its decision to approve construction of TransCanada's (TRP -0.6%) Keystone XL pipeline.
The groups say the U.S. State Department, which granted the permit needed for the pipeline to cross the Canadian border, relied on an "outdated and incomplete environmental impact statement" when making its decision earlier this month, violating the National Environmental Policy Act.
The lawsuit is the second filed this week against the Trump administration's recent energy-related moves, after environmental groups and Native American tribe sued for violating the Act in the lifting of a moratorium on coal leases on federal land.
