Impact Statement, part of which involves a 30-day period in which the Corps
invites members of the public to weigh in on the project. The public has
until February 20 to comment about the environmental impacts of DAPL at the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers website. With less that 28 days to go,
organizers say that now is the now is the chance for people nationwide to
speak up.
The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has set up an easy-to-use page
<https://actionnetwork.org/letters/submit-your-eis-comment-to-the-army-corps ;
<https://actionnetwork.org/letters/submit-your-eis-comment-to-the-army-corps>>
for
submitting comments.
“While the EIS is exactly what we called for, we must ensure that it fully
takes into consideration tribal treaty rights, natural resources, cultural
and sacred places, socio-economical concerns, and environmental justice,”
the tribe said in a statement on January 18. “We need your continued
support as this process moves forward. Submit a comment to the Civil Works
Division, and help us show the Army that #MillionsStandWithStandingRock.”
