Whatever Happened To the Storage Fee the US Army Corps Was Going to Charge -- And Then the Floods Came -- Bakken, North Dakota, USA

Earlier this year, the US Army Corps of Engineers said they were going to charge a "storage fee" for folks who took the water from the Missouri River for fracking. That was before the flooding.

I would suppose that Minot folks who were flooded have a legitimate claim against the US Army Corps of Engineers now that the corps could not keep their stored water inside the banks.

"You" can't have it both ways. Either it's their stored water or it isn't. And if it is, they are responsible for any damage it causes.

That and 65 cents will buy you a cup of coffee at McDonald's in Williston.
