Its pathway includes <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unceded" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#unceded</a> land recognized as belonging to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SiouxNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SiouxNation</a> under an <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/1851Treaty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#1851Treaty</a> with the U.S. government."The lawsuit was triggered in part by a 2024 engineering report that raised questions about the construction of the pipeline crossing below Lake Oahe, representatives of the tribe said Monday."The report calculated that up to 1.4 million gallons of bentonite clay-based drilling mud used in the horizontal directional drilling process was not fully accounted for in construction records. The report notes that there is no clear indication where the fluid migrated, but that it could have seeped into the surrounding soil.“'The Corps has failed to act and failed to protect the tribe,' Alkire said of the report’s findings."The report was prepared by engineering consulting firm Exponent for environmental advocacy group <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Greenpeace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Greenpeace</a> as part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by pipeline developer <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EnergyTransfer</a>. Greenpeace commissioned the report to defend itself against Energy Transfer’s allegations that Greenpeace defamed the pipeline during its involvement in protests against DAPL in 2016 and 2017.[...]"Standing Rock’s complaint also emphasizes that the Dakota Access Pipeline has still been allowed to operate despite that it no longer has an easement authorizing it to cross under Lake Oahe."The Army Corps approved the easement in 2017, but a federal judge later revoked it in 2020, finding that the Corps violated environmental law by granting it without properly researching the possible environmental impacts of the pipeline.[...]"The ban was related to a criminal pollution case against Energy Transfer for two pipelines in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pennsylvania" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Pennsylvania</a>. Violations alleged in the criminal case included that Energy Transfer had used unapproved additives in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DrillingFluid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DrillingFluid</a> used to construct one of the pipelines. The company was convicted of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EnvironmentalCrimes</a> under Pennsylvania law."For this reason, Standing Rock wonders whether the drilling fluid used to bore under Lake Oahe truly contained no toxins."'That’s a question the tribe has — what was in the drilling fluid?'
