BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers within the next two months expects to wrap up an environmental study of the Dakota Access oil pipeline after recently meeting with four American Indian tribes battling the pipeline in court.
The tribe leading the lawsuit still feels it hasn’t had a meaningful role in the study, and Standing Rock Sioux attorney Jan Hasselman said Monday that “the tribe is not giving up this fight” two years after the suit was filed and a year after oil began flowing.
