The Army Corps of Engineers' plan to close a Dakota Access pipeline protest camp that's been around for more than six months isn't likely to be the demise of on-the-ground opposition in North Dakota. The protest camp is on federal land in southern North Dakota between the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation and the pipeline route. Dozens of abandoned vehicles also remained, according to George Kuntz, vice president of the North Dakota Towing Association. Law enforcement has maintained a staging area just north of the protest camp for months.
