AMICUS CURIAE BRIEF OF BOLD ALLIANCE, CENTER FOR BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY, DAKOTA RURAL ACTION, FRIENDS OF THE EARTH, HONOR THE EARTH, SAVE OUR ILLINOIS LAND, SIERRA CLUB, AND 350.ORG IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFFS’ BRIEF ON VACATUR
The brief supports the vacatur of the easement for the Dakota Access Pipeline, asserting that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers committed a serious violation of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) by failing to prepare a required Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The authors argue that the risk of irreparable environmental harm from oil spills outweighs any economic disruption, especially given a global oil supply glut and the existing negative impacts of Bakken shale oil production on public health and Indigenous communities.
