[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 118679, member: 367"] Is this a federal or state permitted pipeline ? State permit across COE land ? Either way it's a joke , I blame whoever issued the permit. There should be no question between a contractor and ex-employee whether proper procedure was taken on a project of this environmental magnitude. North Dakota is famous for this and they continue to carry on without a 3rd party engineering firm keeping an eye out for we the people. It's as simple as our State Engineers drawing up a prognosis and a check list of procedures to be filled out by the project engineer. It wouldn't cost the state a dime and it would keep contractors honest. I used to bid projects and contracted or subcontracted through out the Midwest and North Dakota's procedures are a joke. This type of crap hits a nerve with me because I lost out on many bids in ND that other contractors underbid then cut corners that most contractors simply won't cut. It all looks good on paper but if it's required on paper then whoever wrote the bid documents better make sure the work is done as stated. Simple as that.
