While hundreds still protest the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota, the parent company says most of the work is nearly finished on the $3.8 billion project.
And Dakota Access LLC, a subsidiary of Energy Transfer Partners based in Dallas, is about to move ahead with plans to tunnel beneath a lake that’s at the center of the protests by the Standing Rock Sioux Indian tribe. Dakota Access announced this week it did not agree with the federal government to stop work on both sides of the lake where drilling equipment is being brought into place.
An interesting picture of the drilling site was published this week by EcoWatch, an environmental publication and website. It also offered drone footage of the site that is now protected from protesters.
