In the U.S., there has been another stop in the construction of the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline. (1)It’s an 1,172-mile oil pipeline that would run from the U.S. state of North Dakota to Illinois. And it’s been an on again, off again project for months. In order to finish it, the pipeline’s developer needs permission from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build a tunnel under the Missouri River. The company says it had the permit, but the Army Corps put the project on hold Monday. It says it wants to have further discussion and analysis with the Standing Rock Sioux. That’s the Native American tribe that’s been frustrating the pipeline. (2)It says digging under the river would affect its drinking water supply and put communities at risk for oil leaks and spills. Its goal is to have the pipeline project stopped altogether. The company building the pipeline says it’s safe and efficient and would help the U.S. economy. It says the delay is motivated by politics.
Questions 1 and 2 are based on the news report you have just heard.
