Hearings begin over Dakota Access oil pipeline
May 27, 2015
The North Dakota Public Service Commission this week is holding the first of three public hearings on a proposed $3.8 billion oil pipeline that would stretch from western North Dakota to Illinois.
The proposed 1,134-mile Dakota Access Pipeline would move oil from the Bakken formation to a terminal in Patoka, Illinois, for distribution to refineries in eastern states. Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners wants it operating by the end of 2016.
