Lawyers for Texas-based U.S. Energy Transfer Partners and the Army Corps of Engineers ar- gue separately in documents filed Wednesday in federal court in Washington, D.C., that the pro- posals by the Standing Rock Sioux and Cheyenne River Sioux are un- necessary or unwarranted. are already in place to achieve the objectives behind each proposed set of com- pany attorneys wrote.

The dispute centers around the $3.8 billion crossing of the Missouri Lake Oahe reservoir in southern North Dakota. Both tribes get water from the lake and fear contamination should the pipeline leak. They are among four Dakotas tribes suing to shut down the pipeline that began mov- ing North Dakota oil to a distribu- tion point in Illinois on June 1. U.S. District Judge James Boas- berg is requiring the corps to fur- ther review the impact on tribal interests, but allowing oil to continue flowing while that work is done over the next sev- eral months.

In the meantime, the tribes are seeking increased public reporting of pipeline issues such as repairs, and implementation of an emergency spill response plan at the lake crossing with tribal input. The spill response plan will include equipment staging. ETP said it already has emergency equipment and personnel staged the crossing and has also steps to include the tribes in response The company said it is willing to continue work- ing with them on a voluntary basis. Corps attorneys argue that the tribal request is duplicative and and note that court has already upheld the conclusion that the risk of a spill is In a separate legal dispute in fed- eral court in North Dakota, land- owners who claim ETP deceived and defrauded them while acquir- ing land easements for the pipeline will appeal the dismissal of their lawsuit. U.S.

District Judge Daniel Hov- land in October sided with a sub- sidiary of ETP and the land acqui- sition consulting business Con- tract Land Staff. Both businesses disputed the claims of the 21 land- owners who were seeking more than $4 million in damages. The landowners have filed a no- tice of appeal to the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Attorney Peter Zuger declined to discuss their argument until a formal appeal brief is filed in the next couple of months.

ETP spokeswoman Vicki Granado said the company does not comment on pending legal matters. DAPL builder objects to tribal proposal DAVE OLSON Forum News Service FARGO A man charged in con- nection with a robbery and kidnap- ping this week in Fargo was in cus- tody in Grand Forks on Thursday morning. Mohamed Yarrow Ali, 19, is charged in Cass County District Court with conspiracy to commit robbery and conspiracy to commit kidnapping. On Wednesday a woman called authorities about 4:40 a.m. to re- port that her son, Lucas Blomberg, had called her from Grand Forks where he was being treated in a hospital for injuries he suffered in an assault, according to court doc- uments.

Three men allegedly assaulted Blomberg as he walked from his vehicle to his apartment building when he was coming home from work early Wednesday, court doc- uments stated. Blomberg recently underwent brain surgery, so he pleaded with his attackers to stop striking his head. The three men then forced Blomberg to drive them to Grand Forks, and once there they let him go after he dropped them off at a convenience store, court documents stated. Fargo police contacted Grand Forks police who spoke with Blomberg and discovered he had to have stitches to close a wound on his brow. Blomberg told police his attackers took his phone, wallet, ID and credit card and threatened to kill him if he told anyone about what happened, court documents stated.

A Fargo police officer investigat- ing the case realized he had seen three men matching the descrip- tion of the assailants shortly before the incident happened, and he was familiar with two of the men from past interactions, court documents stated. Grand Forks police provided Fargo police with a photo taken from sur- veillance footage of the convenience store where the three men were dropped off, and the Fargo officer recognized Ali as one of the men he had seen earlier in the area where the abduction took place, court docu- ments stated. Ali was being held in the Grand Forks County Jail Thursday morn- ing on a Cass County arrest warrant. Fargo police announced his arrest on their Facebook page, saying, will continue to follow the evidence so any other person involved can be held accountable for their Suspect charged in Fargo abduction Tribes call for bolstering protections of their water supply CRIME STOPPERS Call Bismarck Area Crime Stoppers at 701-224-TIPS (8477) to report in- formation about any crime in Bis- marck, Mandan, Burleigh County or Morton County.
