U.S. Department of State 
Attn: Genevieve Walker, NEPA Coordinator 
2201 C Street NW, Room 2726 
Washington, D.C. 20520 
 

Dear Ms. Walker: 

We are writing to strongly support TransCanada's proposed Keystone XL pipeline and urge you to swiftly 
finalize the draft SEIS.  Keystone XL will be critical to improving American energy security and boosting 
our economy, and I strongly encourage its expeditious approval. 

Our communities are members of the Ports‐to‐Plains Alliance, a grassroots coalition of cities, counties, 
businesses, economic development organizations and chambers of commerce from a ten‐state, 2,300 
mile long transportation and economic development corridor that stretch from Texas to Alberta, 
Canada. 
 
Keystone XL has undergone one of the most thorough environmental assessments ever conducted.  In 
this latest environmental review, the State Department again concludes that Keystone XL will not 
significantly affect the environment. With over 57 additional mitigation measures to be undertaken by 
TransCanada, Keystone XL is much safer, more efficient, and more reliable than other modes of crude oil 
transport examined by the State Department. 

Opponents have argued that Keystone XL will increase greenhouse gas emissions through increased oil 
sands production.  However the draft SEIS notes that not building the pipeline would not significantly 
limit oil sands development or U.S. consumption of heavy oil.  If the pipeline is not completed, that oil 
would simply be transported by rail or other greenhouse gas generating means rather than through a 
pipeline. 

Keystone XL will provide tremendous economic benefits for our country, our region in particular.  As the 
draft SEIS outlines, the project will support over 42,100 jobs during the construction phase and will 
generate over $5 billion in economic activity, including $2.05 billion in worker salaries. For local 
governments along the pipeline corridor, $65 million in tax revenue will help fund necessary

infrastructure projects, education, and medical services.  Furthermore the development of Alberta’s oil 
sands will have a significant economic impact on the U.S.  For every two jobs created in the oil sands, 
one is created in the United States, as our number one trading partner relies heavily on American‐made 
equipment and expertise.  It will also provide improved access to domestic oil supplies from the Bakken 
Formation in North Dakota and Montana. 

Keystone XL will also allow America to end its dependence on oil from the Middle East and Venezuela by 
improving access to North American supplies.  Relying upon regimes that are in many cases unstable and 
unfriendly to the United States is simply bad energy and national security policy.  We have seen the 
shocks to our economy from oil price spikes caused by turmoil in these regions.  It is much preferable to 
develop stable, secure domestic and Canadian sources. 

As leaders from the region that the Keystone XL pipeline will traverse, we applaud the thoroughness of 
the approval process.  The State Department draft EIS and the Nebraska Department of Environmental 
Quality Supplemental EIS both find no significant environmental concerns that should prevent the 
construction of this valuable project.  We also know that TransCanada will construct the Keystone XL 
with industry best practices that will meet or exceed all existing pipeline regulatory standards. 

The Keystone XL pipeline is clearly in the nation’s interest and will be a valuable tool in strengthening 
our national security and energy security. Therefore, we respectfully request that upon completion of 
this review period, the Department of States move expeditiously to approve the pipeline and grant 
TransCanada the Presidential Permit it needs to proceed. 

Sincerely,

Ports-to-Plains Letter Submitted to Department of State

  • 1.     April 18, 2013    U.S. Department of State  Attn: Genevieve Walker, NEPA Coordinator  2201 C Street NW, Room 2726  Washington, D.C. 20520    Dear Ms. Walker:  We are writing to strongly support TransCanada's proposed Keystone XL pipeline and urge you to swiftly  finalize the draft SEIS.  Keystone XL will be critical to improving American energy security and boosting  our economy, and I strongly encourage its expeditious approval.  Our communities are members of the Ports‐to‐Plains Alliance, a grassroots coalition of cities, counties,  businesses, economic development organizations and chambers of commerce from a ten‐state, 2,300  mile long transportation and economic development corridor that stretch from Texas to Alberta,  Canada.    Keystone XL has undergone one of the most thorough environmental assessments ever conducted.  In  this latest environmental review, the State Department again concludes that Keystone XL will not  significantly affect the environment. With over 57 additional mitigation measures to be undertaken by  TransCanada, Keystone XL is much safer, more efficient, and more reliable than other modes of crude oil  transport examined by the State Department.  Opponents have argued that Keystone XL will increase greenhouse gas emissions through increased oil  sands production.  However the draft SEIS notes that not building the pipeline would not significantly  limit oil sands development or U.S. consumption of heavy oil.  If the pipeline is not completed, that oil  would simply be transported by rail or other greenhouse gas generating means rather than through a  pipeline.  Keystone XL will provide tremendous economic benefits for our country, our region in particular.  As the  draft SEIS outlines, the project will support over 42,100 jobs during the construction phase and will  generate over $5 billion in economic activity, including $2.05 billion in worker salaries. For local  governments along the pipeline corridor, $65 million in tax revenue will help fund necessary    Limon Office     Lubbock Office  P.O. Box 9     5401 N MLK Blvd., Unit 395  Limon, CO 80828     Lubbock, TX 79403  P: 303.586.1787     P: 806.775.2338  F: 719.775.9073     Fax: 806.775.3981  www.portstoplains.com 
  • 2. Support for Findings of the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for  the Keystone XL Pipeline  April 18, 2013  Page 2    infrastructure projects, education, and medical services.  Furthermore the development of Alberta’s oil  sands will have a significant economic impact on the U.S.  For every two jobs created in the oil sands,  one is created in the United States, as our number one trading partner relies heavily on American‐made  equipment and expertise.  It will also provide improved access to domestic oil supplies from the Bakken  Formation in North Dakota and Montana.  Keystone XL will also allow America to end its dependence on oil from the Middle East and Venezuela by  improving access to North American supplies.  Relying upon regimes that are in many cases unstable and  unfriendly to the United States is simply bad energy and national security policy.  We have seen the  shocks to our economy from oil price spikes caused by turmoil in these regions.  It is much preferable to  develop stable, secure domestic and Canadian sources.  As leaders from the region that the Keystone XL pipeline will traverse, we applaud the thoroughness of  the approval process.  The State Department draft EIS and the Nebraska Department of Environmental  Quality Supplemental EIS both find no significant environmental concerns that should prevent the  construction of this valuable project.  We also know that TransCanada will construct the Keystone XL  with industry best practices that will meet or exceed all existing pipeline regulatory standards.  The Keystone XL pipeline is clearly in the nation’s interest and will be a valuable tool in strengthening  our national security and energy security. Therefore, we respectfully request that upon completion of  this review period, the Department of States move expeditiously to approve the pipeline and grant  TransCanada the Presidential Permit it needs to proceed.  Sincerely,      Limon Office     Lubbock Office  P.O. Box 9     5401 N MLK Blvd., Unit 395  Limon, CO 80828     Lubbock, TX 79403  P: 303.586.1787     P: 806.775.2338  F: 719.775.9073     Fax: 806.775.3981  www.portstoplains.com
