"The US supreme court has weakened rules on the discharge of raw sewage into water supplies in a 5-4 ruling that undermines the 1972 Clean Water Act...

"In a 5-4 ruling written by Justice Samuel Alito, the court blocked the EPA from issuing permits that make a permittee responsible for surface water quality, or 'end result' permits – a new term coined by the court.

"The case drew the attention of powerful business groups including the National Mining Association and US Chamber of Commerce...

"'The city is wrong,' according to Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who wrote the dissenting opinion, which was joined by the three Democratic justices, Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson..."

#StandingRockSioux Tribe files new lawsuit over #DAPL

By: Mary Steurer - October 15, 2024

"The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe on Monday filed a new lawsuit against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers arguing that the #DakotaAccessPipeline is operating illegally and must be shut down.

"The tribe has long opposed the pipeline, also referred to as DAPL, due to concerns that it violates the tribe’s #sovereignty, endangers #sacred cultural sites and threatens to pollute the tribe’s #WaterSupply.

"The Army Corps of Engineers has jurisdiction over the section of the pipeline that passes under #LakeOahe — a reservoir on the #MissouriRiver — roughly a half-mile upstream from the #StandingRockReservation.

"The tribe in a 34-page complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia argues the Army Corps flouted federal regulations by allowing the pipeline to operate without an easement, sufficient study of possible #environmental impacts or the necessary emergency spill response plans, among other alleged violations.

"'We are fighting for our rights and the water that is life for Oceti Sakowin tribes,' Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Chairwoman #JanetAlkire said during a news conference the afternoon of #IndigenousPeoplesDay.

"The Army Corps of Engineers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

"The more than 1,000-mile-long pipeline carries crude oil from the #BakkenOilFields of northwest North Dakota to Illinois, and has been operating since 2017. Its pathway includes #unceded land recognized as belonging to the #SiouxNation under an #1851Treaty with the U.S. government.

"The lawsuit was triggered in part by a 2024 engineering report that raised questions about the construction of the pipeline crossing below Lake Oahe, representatives of the tribe said Monday.

"The report calculated that up to 1.4 million gallons of bentonite clay-based drilling mud used in the horizontal directional drilling process was not fully accounted for in construction records. The report notes that there is no clear indication where the fluid migrated, but that it could have seeped into the surrounding soil.

“'The Corps has failed to act and failed to protect the tribe,' Alkire said of the report’s findings.

"The report was prepared by engineering consulting firm Exponent for environmental advocacy group #Greenpeace as part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by pipeline developer #EnergyTransfer. Greenpeace commissioned the report to defend itself against Energy Transfer’s allegations that Greenpeace defamed the pipeline during its involvement in protests against DAPL in 2016 and 2017.

[...]

"Standing Rock’s complaint also emphasizes that the Dakota Access Pipeline has still been allowed to operate despite that it no longer has an easement authorizing it to cross under Lake Oahe.

"The Army Corps approved the easement in 2017, but a federal judge later revoked it in 2020, finding that the Corps violated environmental law by granting it without properly researching the possible environmental impacts of the pipeline.

[...]

"The ban was related to a criminal pollution case against Energy Transfer for two pipelines in #Pennsylvania. Violations alleged in the criminal case included that Energy Transfer had used unapproved additives in the #DrillingFluid used to construct one of the pipelines. The company was convicted of #EnvironmentalCrimes under Pennsylvania law.

"For this reason, Standing Rock wonders whether the drilling fluid used to bore under Lake Oahe truly contained no toxins.

"'That’s a question the tribe has — what was in the drilling fluid?' Don Holstrom, an environmental consultant for Standing Rock, said Monday."

#WaterSupply

Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza are denied control of the aquifers under their feet, and must instead buy the water back in limited quantities from the Israeli national water company, Mekorot, via Israel's auxiliary: the Ramallah-based so-called "Palestinian Authority" #PA.

• While Israelis have access to an average of 300 liters of water per day,
• Palestinians in the West Bank enjoy only 80 liters — 20 liters less than the World Health Organization’s recommended daily quantity.
• For Palestinians in Gaza, it is currently as low as 3 liters.
