LOUISIANA -- Injunction Granted against Bayou Bridge Pipeline -- Shut Down of Illegal Construction


LOUISIANA -- Injunction Granted against Bayou Bridge Pipeline -- Shut Down of Illegal Construction

L'eau Est La Vie Camp - No Bayou Bridge

News
A Louisiana Court has granted an injunction against Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), shutting down illegal construction of the Bayou Bridge Pipeline in part of the Atachafalaya Basin.

We have been tased, pepper sprayed, put into choke holds and beaten with batons to stop this illegal construction that ETP was carrying out despite not having an easement for the land.

Now a court has validated our claims and has banned all ETP employees and workers from the site and banned any form of construction activities.

While this is a major victory, construction of the Bayou Bridge Pipeline continues in other parts of the Atchafalaya Basin. We won't stop until completely shut down the Bayou Bridge Pipeline.
