6/9 Wells To DRL Status; Ten (10) New Permits -- February 12, 2015

EPA reaffirms North Dakota's "haze-reduction" program. Link here:

North Dakota’s congressional delegation says the federal Environmental Protection Agency has reaffirmed its earlier approval of North Dakota’s plan to address haze caused by coal-fired power plants.
The EPA in 2012 agreed with the position of the North Dakota Health Department that power plants at Center and Stanton could use less-expensive technology to reduce haze that could affect Theodore Roosevelt National Park in western North Dakota.

UNP: stock hits new high. Judge dismisses lawsuit against UNP / fatal collision:

A Texas judge has dismissed a lawsuit against Union Pacific Corp brought in connection with a 2012 collision between a freight train and a parade float that killed four veterans in Texas. At least 14 people were also injured when the Union Pacific train slammed into a parade float pulled by a truck in Midland, Texas, in November 2012. The plaintiffs showed no evidence the train's crew could have avoided the collision as the parade float crossed the railroad tracks while the warning lights were flashing.
