Residents of the Fort Berthold Reservation have formed a committee to oppose a proposed oil refinery.
The Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation has partnered with Triad Project of Utah to build an $81 million refinery. The tribe will comply with Environmental Protection Agency standards.
But the Environmental Awareness Committee of Fort Berthold says the refinery will contribute to water, air and soil pollution.
