Iowa Utilities Board refuses to halt Dakota Access pipeline
Regulators in Des Moines rejected requests from 14 landowners to stop construction of the Dakota Access pipeline. The Iowa Utilities Board unanimously denied the emergency motion, saying a lengthy delay could harm the project and that the landowners’ suit is unlikely to succeed. The case now returns to court. The pipeline, a $3.8 billion, 1168 mile underground route from North Dakota, aims to cross several states. The landowners plan to appeal after the regulator’s ruling.
