Dakota access pipeline already has a leak - operational on Sunday

The $3.8 billion Dakota Access Pipeline, which was the subject of international protests because of the threat it posed to both the environment and the indigenous peoples living along the Missouri River, has already had a leak more than a month before it’s scheduled to be fully operational.

The April 6 leak spilled 84 gallons of crude oil at a South Dakota pump station, and although state officials said the leak was contained and quickly cleaned, the Guardian reports that critics of the pipeline say the spill raises new concerns about the potential hazards to waterways and Native American sites.
