Just a few weeks ago, President Donald Trump signed executive actions to advance approval of this pipeline and others, casting aside efforts by President Barack Obama’s administration to block construction.That order directed “the acting secretary of the Army to expeditiously review requests for approvals to construct and operate the Dakota Access Pipeline in compliance with the law.”Acting Secretary of the Army Robert Speer’s moves to grant the easement and stop the preparation of an environmental impact statement were anticipated.“The decision was made based on a sufficient amount of information already available which supported approval to grant the easement request,” the Army said.
Speer called granting the easement a “final step” in meeting the tasks of the President’s executive action.The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, which has long opposed the project near its home, promised a legal fight. The tribe said the Obama administration had determined other locations for the pipeline should be looked into by the Army.“Trump’s reversal of (President Obama’s) decision continues a historic pattern of broken promises to Indian tribes and a violation of treaty rights,” Earthjustice attorney Jan Hasselman, who is representing the tribe, said. “Trump and his administration will be held accountable in court.”The Standing Rock Sioux said it will argue in court that the environmental impact statement process was wrongfully terminated.
