Excerpt from the article: Pipeline route plan first called for crossing north of Bismarck

An early proposal for the Dakota Access Pipeline called for the project to cross the Missouri River north of Bismarck, but one reason that route was rejected was its potential threat to Bismarck’s water supply, documents show.

Now a growing number of protesters are objecting to the oil pipeline’s Missouri River crossing a half-mile north of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, which they argue could threaten the water supply for the tribe and other communities downstream.

Early in the planning process, Dakota Access considered but eliminated an alternative that would have crossed the Missouri River about 10 miles north of Bismarck instead of the route currently under construction.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers evaluated the Bismarck route and concluded it was not a viable option for many reasons. One reason mentioned in the agency’s environmental assessment is the proximity to wellhead source water protection areas that are avoided to protect municipal water supply wells.

Whatever happened to government for the people and by the people? It's government for the benefit of the Koch Brothers and big oil!

The state of North Dakota spent a huge amount of money on a militarized police force under the pretext that it was 'protecting its citizens'.

What it really was protecting was the interests of big oil.

Standing Rock exposed so much more than just an environmental issue. The fight will continue on in the courts, this is where my donations will be going to. I'm sure Red Fox will keep us updated on other efforts.

Thanks for your prayers.
