#1 Tribes aren't soverign, anymore?
Their sovereignty is limited under federal law. One thing tribes are generally NOT subject to are nuisance lawsuits filed below the federal level, which would otherwise be expected in any proposal to build a new refinery. These lawsuits might still be filed, but they would be thrown out of court.
A tribe I know of in Michigan has rented out space on their water tower for cell phone companies and local law enforcement agencies to rig their radio antennas and repeater sites. The local non-Indian citizens had been suing to prevent these antennas from being erected anywhere in the county, for the usual enviro-crazy and NIMBY reasons. However, they had no control over what the local tribe did, which was (ultimately) to make a little extra money.

#2 That is a mighty expensive refinery for the capacity. I am very surprised they've received financing. This article could reflect wishing, re the spring ground breaking.

#3 This article could reflect wishing, re the spring ground breaking. I've read a lot in financial circles, saying that building new refineries is not likely to pay off in the long run, unless new super giant oil fields are discovered.

#4 20000 BOPD is not very big & the Bakken development should have a long 'tail' even if peak production fades (don't know) so could be a good plan if only to save on the round trip transportation costs for local consumption.

#5 Right now, the BNSF is transporting up to a million barrels a month of Bakken crude to various refineries around the country; The one in Anacortes, WA is receiving at least 6- 125 car trains a week. And the RR is way under resourced to haul more ( no more cars, tracks aT capacity, and with the various pipelines being blocked by Barry and the enviro-weenies not helping) this refinery is one small step.....
