The Canadian energy company that spilled nearly 600,000 barrels of crude oil in north-central Kansas will have to reimburse some of the taxpayer money spent on the cleanup, but not all of it. The Kansas News Service reports that TC Energy has to repay what the State of Kansas and the Environmental Protection Agency spend on supervising the cleanup of the oil spill; but not all costs will be reimbursed. For example, the Federal Government can’t bill TC Energy for the cost of sending workers from the Agency that regulates pipelines. Local emergency crews also helped when the pipe broke last month. Washington County says TC Energy will reimburse its costs.
