2. Summarv: The Public Service Commission on 02N0'v' determined that a formal
complaint against Dakota Access LLC was warranted as the result of the delaved
reporting of culturallyr signi?cant findings in the path of the pipeline. Dakota
Access found four stone cairns on 120CT but the Public Service Commission was
not informed until 2SDCT bv a third party:r inspector. The fine initiallvr imposed
was $15,000, the maximum fine that could be imposed was $10,000 per davr for
a maximum of $200,000.
3. Analvst Note: While Dakota Access LLC could appeal the ruling bv the Public
Service Commission it is more likelyr that Dakota Access will payr the ?ne to
remove the issue from the headlines. This will likelvr be picked up bv the Standing
Rock Sioux Tribe and their supporters to show that DAPL is not transparent and
that the State of North Dakota is colluding with the oil companies.
