Keystone Consultant Disclosed Alleged Conflict After Win
This article is for subscribers only.
The consulting firm that wrote a largely favorable environmental review of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline didn't disclose an alleged conflict of interest to the State Department until after it won the contract, according to newly released documents.
The firm, Environmental Resources Management, has come under fire from environmental groups for not disclosing the work that one of its subsidiaries did on a project partly owned by TransCanada Corp., which is seeking permission to build Keystone.
