That Pipeline

http://www.ktvq.com/story/34008885/north-dakota-pipeline-shut-down-after-oil-leaks-into-waterway

A six-inch line operated by Belle Fourche Pipeline leaked into the river northwest of Belfield in Billings County, according to Spill Investigation Program Manager Bill Suess.

The spill was first reported on private ranch land and has since spread to U.S. Forest Service Land.

The oil traveled about 2.5 river miles, according to Suess.
The oil company never noticed that oil was leaking from their pipe. It took a property owner to discover and report the leak.

Thank you for that critical update. Obviously the only solution is to ban the transport of any potentially hazardous material from anywhere, to anywhere, by any means at all.

Now, if we could only do something about the EPA and their Gold mines we'd be living in a fucking Utopia.

I look forward to the HOWLS indignation after the just as arbitrary pronouncements that will now be coming out of the EPA going completely the other way. The same EPA that destroyed records. It's going to take more than a new head of the EPA there's going to have to be a lot of bureaucrats fired before anything changes.
 
Ignoring the Rule Of Law
Which law, specifically, did the Army Corp of Engineers ignore?

I thought I'd ask again since I noticed that you decided, since I last asked, to come back and ignore the rule of law by posting copyrighted material.

See how that works? :D

I see.

No one asked you specifically what chapter and verse of the law he broke, since recognizing unlawful activity is easy even if one doesn't know which particular statute applies. That's why we have lawyers, law libraries, and prosecutors. It is also why cops carry around a handy-dandy cheat sheets.
 


• The pipeline does not cross any land owned by the Standing Rock Sioux.

• The project’s developer and the Army Corps made dozens of overtures to the Standing Rock Sioux over more than two years. Other tribes and parties did participate in the process. More than 50 tribes were consulted, and their concerns resulted in 140 adjustments to the pipeline’s route.

• This isn’t about water protection. Years before the pipeline was announced, the tribe was working with the Bureau of Reclamation and the Army Corps to relocate its drinking water intake. The new site sits roughly 70 miles downstream of where the pipeline is slated to cross the Missouri River. Notably, the new intake, according to the Bureau of Reclamation, will be 1.6 miles downstream of an elevated railroad bridge that carries tanker cars carrying crude oil.

The Belle Fourche pipeline has electronic leak-detection equipment that completely failed to detect the leak. Why do you suppose that happened? Maybe the pipeline company didn't bother to change the batteries. Gotta cut costs, you know.

I hope they get hit with a huge fine, and every dollar goes directly to the EPA.

Nope, you obviously don't.

If you paid attention rather than rushing to move the goal posts you might see. But I doubt it.

any stats on railway and truck spills? They gotta transport those fossil fuels to the green energy plants somehow.

A real inconvenient truth....

U.S. Army Corps to Approve Dakota Access Oil Line, Senator Says

➞ Acting Army Secretary ordered permit for line, Hoeven says

➞ Spokesman for senator says easement to be granted within days




The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers plans to issue Energy Transfer Partners LP the last permit it needs to finish the controversial Dakota Access oil pipeline, two North Dakota lawmakers said.

Acting Army Secretary Robert Speer directed the Army Corps to move forward with the easement necessary to build the final leg of the $3.8 billion crude line under North Dakota’s Lake Oahe, North Dakota Senator John Hoeven said in an e-mailed statement Tuesday, citing a conversation he had with Speer. Don Canton, a spokesman for Hoeven, said the permit’s expected to be granted “in days, not weeks.”

The approval would follow months of protests that have stalled construction on the last leg of the 1,172-mile (1,886-kilometer) project for months...

...The Dakota Access line would give oil explorers in the prolific Bakken shale formation a new route to markets, allowing them to forgo more costly rail shipments that have been a backstop when existing pipes fill up. With a capacity of about 470,000 barrels a day, Dakota Access would ship about half of current Bakken crude production to the Midwest and Gulf Coast...

Terrorists need another target.

Isn't terrorism on American soil (other than the virulent threat of white supremacists) an insignificant concern -according to liberals?

How is a buried pipeline a better target than a rail car terminal?

Well, John, elections have consequences. - Barack Hussein Obama
