Standing Rock seeks hearing
to deny DAPL bid to double oil flow
LINTON, N. D. – In
submissions for a hearing
November 13, the Standing
Rock Sioux Tribe asked the
North Dakota Public Ser-
vice Commission to deny
Dakota Access Pipeline
(DAPL) operators’ request
to double the flow pressure
in the fracked oil conduit.
“Doubling the through-
put of a pipeline that al-
ready poses a grave threat
to the water the tribe
drinks, the sacred sites
where tribal members
pray, and the hunting, fish-
ing, and plant gathering
practices that are integral
to the tribe’s way of life
would have a profoundly
adverse impact on tribal
members,” Standing Rock
said in a brief.
The pipeline company
seeks per mission to
double its capacity to 1.1
million barrels a day by
adding five 6,000-horse-
power electric-motor
pumps at its station five
miles west of this town in
Emmons County, just
across the Missouri River
from the Standing Rock
Sioux Indian Reservation.
“A few miles upstream
from the Emmons County
pump station is the DAPL
crossing at Lake Oahe. The
waters of Lake Oahe are
critical to the welfare of
tribal members,” the tribe
said. “The DAPL Oahe
crossing imperils tribal wel-
fare, and the DAPL capac-
ity expansion will dramati-
cally exacerbate that peril,”
it said.
Applicants, who trans-
port oil from North
Dakota’s Bakken Forma-
tion to Illinois, state that the
capacity expansion “will not
alter the existing maximum
operating pressure of the
Seminoles continue to hire employes for casino expansion
The Seminole Tribe con-
tinues to hire more employ-
ees at its recently expanded
casino in south Florida.
The tribe recently com-
pleted a $1.5 billion expan-
sion of the facility, where
the most striking feature is
a 638-room hotel in the
shape of a 450-foot tall gui-
tar.
“The Guitar Hotel will
attract visitors from
throughout the nation and
around the globe,” said Jim
Allen, CEO of Seminole
Gaming and Chairman of
Hard Rock International.

Seminole tribes’ new Guitar Hotel.
“They will experience a
world-class entertainment,
gaming and dining destina-
tion.” The hotel officially
opened to the public in
October.
The Seminole are origi-
nally from Florida. Today,
they principally live in
Oklahoma with a minority
in Florida, and comprise
three federally recognized
tribes: the Seminole Tribe
of Oklahoma, the Semi-
nole Tribe of Florida, and
Miccosukee Tribe of Indi-
ans of Florida, as well as
independent groups.
DAPL,” or Dakota Access
Pipeline.
However, surges, or
changes in pressure, com-
monplace on hazardous liq-
uid transmission lines such as
this, can cause them to burst,
and the company has pro-
vided no surge analysis in its
application, the tribe’s engi-
neering consultant Richard
Kuprewicz warned.
DAPL capacity expansion
would result in actual flow
velocities within the 30-inch
mainline pipe in excess of 15
feet per second. “This is an
extremely high velocity for
crude oil, especially for a
large diameter pipeline such
as DAPL,” Kuprewicz testi-
fied.
Such high velocities can
rapidly cause prohibited
surge overpressures of more
than 110 percent of maxi-
mum operating pressure
within microseconds, he
noted.
Another tribal witness,
pipeline safety expert
Donald Holmstrom, pointed
out that Dakota Access cor-
porate parent, Energy Trans-
fer LP, has the worst hazard-
ous liquid safety record in
the industry over the past 13
years.
In recent months, its
pipelines have caused a num-
ber of high-profile release
incidents, prompting unprec-
edented government en-
forcement actions, shut-
downs and remedial actions,
according to Holmstrom.
As of December 3, 2018,
DAPL had experienced 12
spills of more than 6,100 gal-
lons of Bakken crude oil in
its less than two years of op-
eration. But that is just a
small fraction of the many
hazardous liquid incidents
across Energy Transfer LP’s
pipeline portfolio, he noted.
