Description
Description | The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), the largest oil pipeline serving the Bakken shale basin, can continue operating under stricter environmental and safety conditions as decided by the Army Corps of Engineers. The pipeline transports up to 750,000 barrels of oil per day from North Dakota to Illinois, crossing under Lake Oahe, an artificial reservoir on the Missouri River. The decision includes enhanced leak detection, expanded water testing, emergency water supply planning, subsistence studies with affected tribes, and independent safety reviews to reduce risks to the lake and river. |
