Biden to cancel Keystone XL pipeline permit on first day in office, sources confirm

[StClone]

27. Thank You Biden NOW Reparations for the desecration of Native Lands

Lawsuit recently filed doesn't seem to focus on environmental Impact statements which were not fully addressed from my understanding:


*Although, the pipeline’s proposed path crosses the plaintiff tribes’ homelands, the tribes have not been consulted as required by law and DOI policy.

*In granting the right-of-way, the BLM failed to analyze and uphold the United States’ treaty obligations to protect the Tribes lands and natural resources. The government failed to even evaluate an alternate route to avoids tribal treaty lands.

*The government’s analysis does not meaningfully address how an influx of out-of-state construction workers will affect the health, welfare, and safety of tribal members, and in particular Native women and children.

*The agencies have not considered the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on either health and safety or the global oil markets.

*The 2019 supplemental environmental impact statement has numerous issues and shortcomings. Even its maps do not give enough detail to show impacts on Indian lands.

*In their permit application, TransCanada agreed to abide by tribal laws and regulation, which they have failed to do.
