Neb. officials issue environmental pipeline report

• LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) -- Nebraska environmental regulators have released a preliminary 600-page report on the oil pipeline a Canadian company wants to build across the state.
• The report released Tuesday doesn't include a recommendation about whether TransCanada should be allowed to build the Keystone XL pipeline to ship crude oil to Gulf Coast refineries.
• The state report says TransCanada's new route avoids the environmental sensitive Sandhills region and addresses a number of concerns Nebraskans raised.
• TransCanada spokesman Shawn Howard says the company appreciates the state's attention to detail and hopes the project will be approved.
• A public hearing will be held in Albion Dec. 4.
• Pipeline opponent Jane Kleeb of Bold Nebraska says she remains concerned, and she's disappointed the state won't require disclosure of exactly what chemicals will be carried in the pipeline.
