Crawfish prices about to sky rocket....

U.S. District Judge Shelly Dick wrote that she was enjoining further work on the pipeline in the basin “in order to prevent further irreparable harm until this matter can be tried on the merits.” She will release her reasoning for ordering ETP to stop construction in the coming days.

The Bayou Bridge pipeline will be the last leg of the Dakota Access, carrying oil fracked in North Dakota to Louisiana. The final stretch of the project, if built as proposed, will span 162.5 miles from Lake Charles to St. James, cutting through the Atchafalaya Basin, a national heritage area and the country’s largest swamp.
quote:
The lawsuit Earthjustice filed in federal court on January 11 against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on behalf of the Atchafalaya Basinkeeper, the Louisiana Crawfish Producers Association-West, Gulf Restoration Network, the Waterkeeper Alliance, and the Sierra Club, alleges that the Corps acted “arbitrarily and capriciously” when it issued a permit for the pipeline.

The pipeline route was filled with debris from pulverized cypress and tupelo trees. Dirt piles, some over 20 feet high, lined parts of the pipeline channel. And a swatch of trees up to 75 feet was cut along the part of the route we navigated along.

Well what do you think pays for all those truck nutz? This is the price we pay.

What are those photos allegedly proving?

What's the problem here? you have to clear a right away to lay a pipeline down.
Just quit throwing the cypress trees on the ground creating "debris". i'm pretty sure many people would take those trees trunks off their hands.

They always looks rough when they're put in. Just give it a year...

Jody Meche, president of the Louisiana Crawfish Producers Association-West, on a trip to the west side of the basin the day after the work stopped to see how far the construction of the pipeline had already gotten. The amount of damage done to the basin since construction began in mid January — and over the course of the two weeks it took for the judge to issue her decision — was breathtaking.

quote:
Existing spoil banks created by trenched dirt that wasn’t put back where it was dug up during the construction of other pipelines, act as dams that stop the natural flow of water into the basin already. The spoil banks, which block water like a dam, will become permanent dams if the Bayou Bridge pipeline is built as planned.
“There are already miles of pipelines crisscrossing the basin that have decimated our water quality, creating hypoxic water that kills crawfish,” Meche said.

All you gotta do let loose some endangered frogs. Then they cant proceed

That wasn't setup at all

It looks like the people clearing the access for the pipeline were just lazy fricks that dumped the cut trees into the bayou.

We have a ton of pipelines. The only reason this one is controversial is because those opposed are riding the momentum from the Dakota Access Pipeline hooplah.

That's not cherry picking evidence whatsoever.
Posted on 2/26/18 at 11:12 am to tgrbaitn08
Yep...that's our fine state in a nutshell.

Looks like all of South Louisiana. Beautiful swamps and marshes covered with canals and oil company detritus.

That surface drive motor he has on the back of his boat does more damage......

the imminent domain laws used to get land for that pipeline are pretty damn communist, you are right.
