The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said July 13 it would appeal a federal judge's decision to shut down the Dakota Access oil pipeline, bringing the Trump administration into a fight already being waged by the owners of the pipeline.

Attorneys for the Corps filed a notice of appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, a week after a lower court said the 570,000-bbl/d pipeline needed to be shut and emptied within 30 days, citing problems with permits granted by the Corps in 2017.

The pipeline's primary owner, Energy Transfer LP, already said it would appeal the decision, and is asking for a stay to keep the pipeline running.
