The report notes that there is no clear indication where the fluid migrated, but that it could have seeped into the surrounding soil.</p><p>“'The Corps has failed to act and failed to protect the tribe,' Alkire said of the report’s findings.</p><p>"The report was prepared by engineering consulting firm Exponent for environmental advocacy group <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Greenpeace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Greenpeace</span></a> as part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by pipeline developer <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnergyTransfer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnergyTransfer</span></a>. Greenpeace commissioned the report to defend itself against Energy Transfer’s allegations that Greenpeace defamed the pipeline during its involvement in protests against DAPL in 2016 and 2017.</p><p>[...]</p><p>"Standing Rock’s complaint also emphasizes that the Dakota Access Pipeline has still been allowed to operate despite that it no longer has an easement authorizing it to cross under Lake Oahe.</p><p>"The Army Corps approved the easement in 2017, but a federal judge later revoked it in 2020, finding that the Corps violated environmental law by granting it without properly researching the possible environmental impacts of the pipeline.</p><p>[...]</p><p>"The ban was related to a criminal pollution case against Energy Transfer for two pipelines in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Pennsylvania" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pennsylvania</span></a>.

The company was convicted of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnvironmentalCrimes</span></a> under Pennsylvania law.</p><p>"For this reason, Standing Rock wonders whether the drilling fluid used to bore under Lake Oahe truly contained no toxins.</p><p>"'That’s a question the tribe has — what was in the drilling fluid?'
