Shelter Will Be Designated At The Pyramid Lake Marina/ranger Departments, But Residents Are Asked To Shelter In Place For Now.

Officials with the tribe are looking for alternatives for helping people, and there will be portable Sani-Huts and water deliveries at the Marina. Volunteers will also deliver water to homes as soon as it is shipped into the area, according to the statement. The Red Cross is delivering ready-to-eat meals each day at the Sutcliffe Marina. The shelter at Sutcliffe Community Center is closed as well due to weather damage. Shelter will be designated at the Pyramid Lake Marina/Ranger departments, but residents are asked to shelter in place for now. Power was restored to residents Wednesday morning after flood damage led to a lengthy outage. Also on Wednesday, all Pyramid Lake boating and fishing activities were suspended due to hazardous road conditions. Those who are homebound or elderly can contact Harrison Eben at 217-8603 basement waterproofing or Charlene Dressler at 770-4941 for coordinating water and meal deliveries.

The company behind the pipeline, Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), had seemed to turn its attention to Louisiana an updated examination of picking out primary criteria for basement waterproofing just one day after Native American protesters thwarted the companys Dakota Access project last month . A spokeswoman for ETP, Vicki Granado, said the Bayou Bridge pipeline extension was announced in June 2015. If approved, the project will run though 11 parishes and cross around 600 acres of wetlands and 700 bodies of water, including wells that reportedly provide drinking water for some 300,000 families. At the public hearing in Baton Rouge on Thursday, the first speaker, Cory Farber, project manager of the Bayou Bridge pipeline, said it was expected to create 2,500 temporary jobs. When Farber then said the project would produce 12 permanent jobs, the crowd laughed heartily. Those who have airboat companies and equipment companies that specialize in putting in equipment, theyre not opposed to pipelines because of the short-term jobs, said Jody Meche , president of the state Crawfish Producers Association, one of dozens who spoke at the hearing. But once that pipe is in there, the jobs are gone.
