The Hill: Oil could begin flowing through the Dakota Access pipeline “sometime this week,” the company’s developers said in a court filing Monday night.
The two-page filing with the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals — a weekly update on the project’s status ordered by a judge in February — was mostly redacted due to “recent coordinated physical attacks along the pipeline that pose threats to life, physical safety, and the environment,” the document said.
But the company’s lawyers told the judge any potential violence “will not stop” work to put oil into the pipeline. Energy Transfer Partners “now believes that oil may flow sometime this week.”
