Thank you North Dakota Public Service Commission Chairman Brian Kroshus for respecting the desires of the nearly 20,000 people who requested a hearing on the proposed expansion of the Dakota Access pipeline. I write today to ask you to deny that expansion. At its current flow rate, this pipeline has already leaked at least 11 times. Any additional pressure on the Dakota Access pipeline should be fully vetted. As of now, federal regulators say they don’t have data showing that expansion of pipeline capacity is safe.
