Secretary of Interior Sally Jewel
WASHINGTON –(ENEWSPF)–December 5, 2016. Today U.S. Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell released the following statement in support of the U.S. Army’s decision related to the Dakota Access Pipeline:
“The thoughtful approach established by the Army today ensures that there will be an in-depth evaluation of alternative routes for the pipeline and a closer look at potential impacts, as envisioned by NEPA. The Army’s announcement underscores that tribal rights reserved in treaties and federal law, as well as Nation-to-Nation consultation with tribal leaders, are essential components of the analysis to be undertaken in the environmental impact statement going forward.”
