Army Corps Opens Public Comment on Dakota Access Pipeline
---------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, the Army Corps of Engineers has begun accepting public
comments on an environmental impact statement for the Dakota Access
pipeline. Members of the public have until February 20 to weigh in on
the proposed $3.8 billion project, which has faced months of resistance
from members of hundreds of indigenous nations, as well as their
non-Native allies.
