Dakota access pipeline: court strikes down permits in victory for Standing Rock Sioux | US news | The Guardian

Army corps of engineers ordered to conduct full environmental review, which could take years

The future of the controversial Dakota Access pipeline has been thrown into question after a federal court on Wednesday struck down its permits and ordered a comprehensive environmental review.

The US army corps of engineers was ordered to conduct a full environmental impact statement (EIS), after the Washington DC court ruled that existing permits violated the National Environmental Policy Act (Nepa).

This is good news. That pipeline is not needed & could cause environmental harm in a big way.
 
Since nothing is flowing through that pipeline, it's a good time to do a comprehensive environmental review.
