North Dakota tribe blames EPA for holding up oil refinery project

The Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation of North Dakota says plans for an oil refinery are being held up by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The tribe began the project in 2003. The final environmental impact statement was issued more than a year ago.

If built, the refinery would be the first in the U.S. in more than 30 years.
