Temporary Victory for the Dakota Access Pipeline

According to CNN the Unites States Army has announced to thousands of protestors that it will not allow developers to build part of the Dakota Access Pipeline under Oahe. Among these protestors are the longstanding Rock Sioux Tribe members. Their camp lies half a mile from the proposed site and claims that it the line were to burst their water supply would be contaminated, but it would also cut through sacred land and disturb burial sites. The companies that were to build part of the pipeline claims that the Army made its decision until President Obama is out of office. The companies have received permission from the corps to build in July but would need easement from the Army under the Mineral Leasing Act.
