by Staff Writer 4 · Published February 1, 2017
The Army Corps of Engineers has been ordered to approve the final steps needed to complete the Dakota Access Pipeline, according to two North Dakota GOP lawmakers.
Acting Secretary of the Army Robert Speer “has directed the Army Corps of Engineers to proceed with the easement needed to complete the Dakota Access Pipeline,” Sen. John Hoeven said in a statement Tuesday. Hoeven said he spoke with Speer on Tuesday.
The official easement hasn’t been released yet, but both Hoeven and Rep. Kevin Cramer praised Speer’s decision. Cramer said that he heard the U.S. Army Corps will give approval.
