[QUOTE="weedy1, post: 134967, member: 1299"] Yes, the citizens of Bismarck/Mandan would probably not be thrilled about the DAPL pipeline providing any more potential hazards. After all, we already have the Nustar pipeline operated by Tesoro which comes out of their refinery and goes right through Bismarck on its route to Jamestown. That pipeline carries gasoline, diesel fuel, heavy fuel oils and liquefied petroleum gas. The pipeline used to hang on the old Memorial Bridge before it was replaced by the new four lane bridge connecting West Main Street in Bismarck to the Strip and Interstate 94 access to Mandan and western North Dakota. That portion of the pipeline was bored under the Missouri River at the crossing point. I am quite sure that new pipeline doesn't have 90 feet of cover between it and the riverbed. During the flood of 2011 there was concern that scour caused by the releases from Garrison Dam might remove some of the existing cover depth and jeopardize the pipeline. By the way that buried pipeline crossing is about 1/2 mile upstream of the new intake for the Bismarck/Burleigh County water supply system. I am pretty sure that the Bismarck water system supplies more individuals than the system for Fort Yates (which is soon to be replaced by a pipeline from Mobridge, SD anyway) by at least ten fold. You can check out the Nustar Pipeline by going using your search engine to check out Tesoro, Mandan Refinery, Nustar Pipeline. The processed fuels have to be much more of an environmental hazard than unrefined oil. [/QUOTE]
