Feds urge judge not to shut down Dakota Access pipeline during review
Government lawyers are urging a federal judge not to shut down the Dakota Access pipeline while regulators conduct a new environmental review of the project because there is a serious possibility the review will reaffirm the pipelines earlier permits.
In a court filing late Thursday, the Army Corps of Engineers said their new review of the controversial pipeline could maintain the conclusion that it poses no risk to North Dakotas Lake Oahe, a lake bisected by the pipeline that local Native American tribes consider environmentally and culturally important.
There is a serious possibility that the Corps will reaffirm its original conclusions based in part on its conclusion that the pipeline segment under Lake Oahe is highly unlikely to spill into the lake, Corps lawyers said in their filing.

BS, every f**king pipeline in this country and around the world has had a break. The f**Ing continuation of Manifest Destiny.
This is the same Army Corps of Engineers that gave the green light have let a governor bring a corporation to use attack dogs, and also hired thugs shoot rubber bullets and water cannons at human beings, and to also allow the desecration of sacred burial grounds
