North Dakota Public Service Commission to hold hearing on proposed Thunder Butte Pipeline
The North Dakota Public Service Commission has scheduled a public hearing for April 2 on a proposed crude oil pipeline project in Ward and Mountrail Counties. Thunder Butte Pipeline, LLC seeks a siting permit for a 3.84-mile new pipeline and the conversion of a 30.8-mile existing pipeline.
Approximately three miles of the pipeline would run through the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation, transporting up to 24,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The project is estimated to cost $19.6 million.
The hearing will take place at 10 a.m. at American Legion Post 0121 in Parshall. Public comments must be submitted at the hearing to be included in the official record.
