“The Obama Administration has announced that the US Army Corps will NOT grant DAPL the easement to drill under the Missouri River!
It is not a straight DENIAL but rather a MAJOR suspension on a decision pending a limited EIS.
The US Army Corps will conduct a limited Environmental Impact Statement on the river crossing and explore possibilities for alternative routes. This is a win! A huge win!
This EIS process will take months.”
