focused on is located immediately adjacent to an existing pipeline corridor built in 1992.
- The route also parallels a high voltage electric transmission line.
- The land has been surveyed. scouted. and turned over - at least twice before - over the past
several decades. The route was selected to ensure no disruption to cultural artifacts since the soil
has previously been excavated for construction and maintenance.
- Additionally. the pipeline crossing under Lake Oahe is 99 feet to 115 feet below the mud line of
the lake and river in soils that date back 55 to 99 million years ago. This predates humans. and
any occupation of humans at the river. eliminating the potential for any Native American scared
sites to occur.
