WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced their intent to grant the necessary easement to finish building the Dakota Access pipeline. Chairman Rob Bishop released the following statement:
“With this approval, we can officially say goodbye to infrastructure approvals being subject to political impulse. With the Trump administration, we are returning to a time when an environmentally sound project is approved by experts that it actually goes forward.
