The Army will not approve an easement that would allow the proposed Dakota Access Pipeline to cross under Lake Oahe in North Dakota, the Army's assistant secretary for civil works announced Sunday.

I am delighted about this.. When I worked in South Dakota, I had many Sioux native Americans and talk about poverty in the US, that describes a typical reservation....there are many arguments out there on the pros and cons to be sure...and I never liked someone referred to a rehab facility for alcoholism to end up going back to same environment which created the disease (plus genetics and all the other stuff)......but have a special place in my heart for the Sioux Nation and the students I dealt with......
