Bakken pipeline faces delays as Iowa permit nears
Iowa Utilities Board moves Iowa segment of the Bakken pipeline closer to approval but will reconvene on April 15. Dakota Access, unit of Energy Transfer Partners, must meet six conditions including 25 million in liability coverage and damage guarantees. Regulators question staking and tree clearing under orders while preconstruction steps proceed. About 2,000 to 4,000 union workers are expected to be hired for the Iowa section, estimated at 1 billion dollars.
