Sunoco, Future Operator Of Dakota Access, Had More Than 200 Leaks Since 2010

Sunoco Logistics Partners LP, the future operator of the oil pipeline delayed in September after Native American protests in North Dakota, spills crude more often than any of its competitors with more than 200 leaks since 2010, according to a Reuters analysis of government data.

The lands of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe sit one-half mile south of the proposed route of the contested Dakota Access Pipeline. The tribe fears the line could destroy sacred sites during construction and that a future oil spill might pollute its drinking water.

A tribal protest over the $3.7 billion project drew broad support from other Native American tribes, domestic and international environmental groups and Hollywood celebrities.
