quote:

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.


quote:

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.


Crawfish prices about to sky rocket....

quote:

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.

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.

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.

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

If clearing trees are bad.

Some one should tell Fox 8 that Entergy and Sleeca are I n the middle a project that cleared some cypress trees between Amelia and Morgan City for some upgrades to some high voltage lines. That I am pretty sure trees will not be as welcomed to return as is the case for a pipeline.

We all know of his was just a pipeline from LC to St. James there would not be a peep. But because it’s connected to fracking up north it’s being faught tooth and nail

We should halt the pipeline and put more tanker trucks on I-10.

It doesn't have enough traffic anyways.
