#1 Maybe the tribe on the reservation can propose an alternative?

#2 The speaking with forked tongue part seems to be true:
The Army Corps of Engineers in July granted ETP the permits needed for the crossing, but the agency decided in September that further analysis was warranted given the tribe's concerns.

#4 The DAPL would cross the Missouri River (impounded Lake Oahe) about 75 miles upstream of the current railroad crossing and future Reservation water system intake at Mobridge, SD - the current water intake is at Fort Yates, about 45 miles north, but more subject to low water levels during drought.
75 miles downstream of a pipeline crossing is a LONG way! Several pipelines under the Mississippi River are closer to New Orleans water intake than that. Check out a pipeline map of the US - I suspect a majority of the population gets water from within 75 miles of a pipeline.
