Opponents of the Dakota Access Pipeline warned this would happen. They probably didn't expect it to come so soon, however.。
The newly completed conduit, which cuts across a reservoir relied on by members of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, leaked 84 gallons of crude oil in South Dakota in early April, recent media reports indicate. 。
