A federal agency won’t release a study about the potential effects of a Dakota Access Pipeline oil spill because it claims information in the report could put lives at risk. “I was very disappointed.”MuckRock plans to appeal the Army Corps’ decision, Morisy said. The assessment’s existence was mentioned in an internal Army Corps memo about the controversial 1,172-mile pipeline, which will carry North Dakota crude oil through South Dakota and Iowa to Illinois. They’ve also argued that Army Corps officials didn’t conduct a proper environmental study of the project. Army Corps officials did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
