Plains Midstream Canada has been given the final OK to restart the Rainbow Pipeline.

Almost 4 months after the largest Alberta pipeline discharge in 36 years, and less than 30 days after the Energy Resources Conservation Board says it received a formal request from Plains Midstream Canada to restart Rainbow Pipeline operations — and despite the fact that Plains Midstream Canada has only recovered 49% of the 4.5 million litres of oil from the Rainbow Pipeline leak and the fact that Plains Midstream Canada no longer provides web updates regarding the percentage that has been recovered from the Rainbow Pipeline leak site — the Energy Resources Conservation Board has given Plains Midstream Canada the final OK to restart the Rainbow Pipeline.
