[QUOTE="Trip McNeely, post: 34242, member: 728"] I don't think more railcars would be a solution either. I guess I'm more on the lines of thinking isn't there an alternative route that would have less potential of a major spill event that would affect hundreds of thousands of people? or would it be feasible to instead of laying the thing on the bottom of the lake maybe keep the section that crosses the lake above the water? theres been chatter of building another bridge further south for years? maybe a dual purpose bridge. I cant imagine maintenance on a pipeline 60ft underwater would be an easy or cheap task? why couldn't the pipeline cross south of the dam? or cross closer to Williston over the river?. then if there was an event at least the millions of acre feet of water would be above the damn wouldn't be affected and containment may be easier in a river-type setting? I'm not on one side or the other here. I'm just asking the questions as I know there is plenty of knowledge as pertains to this subject floating around this forum. [/QUOTE]
