Federal Judge Halts Bayou Bridge Pipeline..But Photos Show Damage Already Done

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tree huggers and crawfish farmers

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

The Protesters effects:

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.

Yep...that's our fine state in a nutshell.

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