Stop the Dakota Access Pipeline!
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has just released a draft
environmental impact statement (EIS) evaluating the risks of the
Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). This pipeline is problematic for
so many reasons - like the serious ongoing threat it poses to
crucial Standing Rock Sioux Tribe water sources and the reliance
on climate-busting fossil fuels it perpetuates.
To make matters worse, the Army Corp’s draft falls short over and
over again. It ignores tribal treaty rights, violates the
National Environmental Policy Act, and threatens clean water and
the climate.
Use your voice to support the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and
demand a new Environmental Impact Statement for DAPL.
The deadline for comments is November 13th!

Dear NRDC Activist,
You might remember news coverage, photos,
and videos of Indigenous water protectors and allies at Standing
Rock during the heart-wrenching protests against the Dakota
Access Pipeline (DAPL) back in 2016. While advocates were
ultimately unable to stop DAPL’s construction, the fight against
the pipeline’s operation continues for the Standing Rock Sioux
Tribe — and we’re calling on you to stand with them.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has
released its court-ordered draft Environmental Impact Statement,
which assesses the risks of DAPL and a potential oil spill
resulting from its operation. But the assessment is critically
flawed — it dismisses tribal rights, fails to adequately consider
the immense value of Lake Oahe and the Missouri River to the
Tribe, and does not tally the true costs of the risk of a
potential oil spill.
The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe fervently
rejects the current draft and is demanding a new version that
addresses these issues, and is prepared in meaningful
consultation with the Tribe’s leadership. A new assessment that
includes the impacts this dirty pipeline has on the environment
and the Tribe's cultural resources is crucial in the fight to
stop DAPL. Without one, DAPL may be permitted to continue
operating while endangering water sources, ecosystems, and the
Tribe’s land.
The Army Corps is inviting comments on
its disastrous assessment until November 13 — so now is our best
chance to mobilize massive public opposition to their flawed
evaluation.
Will you
join the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and submit a comment to the US
Army Corps of Engineers and urge them to assess the real costs of
this dangerous and dirty pipeline?! ( [link removed] )
Today, the Dakota Access Pipeline
transports up to 750,000 barrels of crude oil a day from North
Dakota across the country to Illinois. Each day it continues to
operate, it violates Indigenous sovereignty and treaty rights and
poses a constant threat to crucial water sources for the Standing
Rock Sioux and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribes – all while
transporting the dirty fossil fuels that are poisoning our air
and driving climate change.
Central to this struggle is Lake Oahe, a
dammed part of the Missouri River, which is a sacred body of
water providing life and sustenance to numerous populations. DAPL
runs beneath Lake Oahe carrying the constant threat of oil
spills. A breach could desecrate sacred tribal lands, devastate
local ecosystems, and poison a critical water supply.

Despite these dire consequences of a
potential spill, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has failed to
adequately account for these risks and the value Lake Oahe and
the Missouri River have for Tribal groups in their draft EIS.
You can use your voice and join the
Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in this fight by submitting a comment
to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers today. ( [link removed] )
