Summary:
The tar sands are super toxic and a LOT spilled into a nearby creek that basically poisoned the area around said pipeline, like farms.

"In the past, when we've seen the spills happen it impacts the land for years. They not only have to excavate all of the polluted soil, there is a lot of work to be done to make sure that this isn't impacting the root system," she said. "And now all of that precious topsoil, which is critical to agriculture, is now destroyed and will be destroyed forever."
If ONLY someone thought that building a pipeline to funnel toxic oil through America's heartland wasn't such a good idea. But alas... NO ONE saw this comming.
