The Army Corp of Engineers fully plans to grant the corporation building the Dakota Access Pipeline the easement they need to complete construction according to court documents.
According to Bloomberg, the Army corp is set to grant the Energy Transfer Partner LP the easement they require in order to complete the mostly-completed DAPL.
Previously, the Obama administration had belatedly ruled in favor of ongoing protests, required an environmental impact survey before the easement could be granted. Now that Obama is out, it appears that both the Trump administration and Army corp have no respect for the legal binding of that order.
Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins and Sydney Robinson discuss this.
