NEW YORK (Reuters) – Energy Transfer LP’s 570,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) Dakota Access oil pipeline must be shut down and emptied in 30 days, a U.S. district court ordered on Monday, dealing the biggest regulatory blow to the controversial project since its startup in 2017.
The court cited an error by the Army Corp of Engineers under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and that a simple fix was impossible.
