"Adding 830,000 bpd to the yearly transport mode volume would result in an estimated 49 additional injuries and six additional fatalities for the No Action rail scenarios compared to one additional injury and no fatalities for the proposed Project on an annual basis," the report reads. "No Action" scenarios here refer to the possibility of President Barack Obama not approving the pipeline project.
