[QUOTE="Sanford, post: 2930477, member: 27733"] I believe I read somewhere that the original planned route was across tribal land but the tribes wanted too much money to allow it - apparently water quality wasn't an issue at that particular point. Have also read that many/most members of the tribe do not support the protest and that many/most of the protestors are from outside. Also believe I've read that there's a new water plant under construction that should be on line within the next few months and obtains its water from a different source. Also understand that truck or train shipments have a generally higher risk of leaks/spills than pipelines(?), and are much less friendly to the environment due to emissions(?). From my perspective this all looks like a typical case of "NIMBY". [/QUOTE]
