The issue

TransCanada Corp. has decided to purchase more pipe in order to complete the Keystone XL pipeline before receiving a presidential permit. In a hearing lasting nine days, the company argued its right to run the Keystone XL pipeline through South Dakota.

The hearing

Despite President Obama海角吃瓜网檚 expectation of rejecting the said permit, on 27 July in Pierre, South Dakota, the state Public Utilities Commission (PUC) had the task of deciding whether to award TransCanada a permit to build through the state.

Citizen海角吃瓜网檚 views on the build

Joye Braun, a Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe member, stated: 海角吃瓜网淚 think it's been proven TransCanada does not have the safety record they are trying to say they have海角吃瓜网� also the tax revenue will not be what they are saying. Most importantly though, is that there are serious questions regarding safety to our drinking water for the state and tribal communities.海角吃瓜网�

Braun went on to tell Indian Country Today Media Network: 海角吃瓜网渨e are hopeful that Keystone XL recertification will be rejected, but if it's not we are ready to do what is necessary to stop this pipeline from being built.海角吃瓜网�

The verdict?

TransCanada海角吃瓜网檚 apparent lack of clear answers may not dissuade the PUC, which is expected to approve the request for recertification.

However, the commissioners have consequently lengthened the hearing period. Now, parties involved have until 1 October to submit post-hearing briefs supporting their arguments, and until 31 October to reply to their opponents' briefs.
