Dakota Access Pipeline Said to Start Pumping Crude in June

The $3.8 billion Dakota Access crude oil pipeline may start operating June 1, assuming no new obstacles prevent it, according to a person familiar with the matter. Energy Transfer Partners LP, the developer of the pipeline, will begin filling it with oil around Feb. 15, barring complaints or legal action to stop it, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the plan isn’t public.
