Geoff Simon's Factoid Of The Week -- March 26, 2021

The Dakota Access Pipeline has not impacted groundwater in any of the four states where it is located since going into service in June 2017. It crosses under the Missouri River at a minimum depth of 95 feet below the riverbed. The disputed area between Morton and Emmons County that could potentially shut down the entire length of the 1,172 mile pipeline is just over 1,000 feet of the path, and is controlled by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
