Stop the Dakota Access

Pipeline
LESLIE CHAVIS

A private oil company wants to build a pipeline

that would cross the Missouri River less than a
mile away from the Standing Rock Reservation.

It will poison the river and threaten the health of

the community when it leaks.

When the pipeline leaks, it will wipe out plants and

animals, ruin our drinking water, and poison the
center of community life for the Standing Rock
Sioux.

The proposed Dakota Access Pipeline would transport

570,000 barrels of crude oil per day, across four states.

Oil companies keep telling people that this is perfectly

safe, but from 2012-2013 alone, there were 300 oil
pipeline breaks in the state of North Dakota.

With such a high chance that this pipeline will leak, I

can only guess that the oil industry keeps pushing for it
because they dont care about the health and safety of
the community.

I contacted the US Army Corps of Engineers, OMAHA District

in response to this issue but they have not contacted me
back yet.
