Activists protest Dakota Access Pipeline

Sunoco Logistics’ investment in a controversial North Dakota crude-oil pipeline came home to roost Wednesday as a group of about 40 protesters marched on its Newtown Square campus.

Environmental groups will stage a protest near the Newtown Square headquarters of Sunoco Logistics over the 1,172-mile Dakota Access pipeline, which would deliver North Dakota crude oil to Illinois. The $2.5 billion pipeline is being built by Sunoco Logistics' parent company, and SXL will be the operator if it is completed. Protests against the pipeline have picked up momentum in recent months over the objections of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe, who say the pipeline would disturb their ancient lands and threaten their water supplies.
