Clean-up crews are racing to clear acres of debris at the largest Dakota Access protest camp before the spring thaw turns the snowy, trash-covered plains into an environmental disaster area.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced Friday that the camp, located on federal land, would be closed Feb. 22 in order to prevent injuries and significant environmental damage in the likely event of flooding in this area at the mouth of the Cannonball River in North Dakota.
Without proper remediation, debris, trash, and untreated waste will wash into the Cannonball River and Lake Oahe, the Corps said in its statement.
Those involved in the clean-up effort, led by the Standing Rock Sioux, say it could take weeks for private sanitation companies and volunteers to clear the expanse of abandoned tents, teepees, sleeping bags, blankets, canned food, supplies and just plain garbage littering the Oceti Sakowin camp.

Bump!
So why is there still an Obama guy at the Pentagon???
Here is why there are not pictures. The totalitarians who have been allowed to take charge of the area, under President Obama, do not allow them:
“Coming down the rolling hills towards the river bank, the camp is bounded by the water on one side and fencing on the other three. Where Highway 1806 passes the camp, the protesters have erected a permanent guardhouse. Cones block off the road, forcing cars that are not allowed into the camp to turn around. At the gate, three burly Native-American men interrogate the occupants of each car. A sign posted behind them warns no photography. (Most of the journalists allowed to enter are required to have an escort at all times.)”

Methinks you ought to dump Google...
Thanks, that figures.
That is horrible! It looks like a giant hoarder’s house.
Lefties of all varieties are almost all graduates of our public schools or at least got through a few grades in them and have learned Self Esteem and Instant Gratification and first grader attention span. They are therefore totally self centered and cannot reason from cause to effect. When one of them is finished with something he drops it wherever he and it are and it is gone from his consciousness. Some of them can become vaguely uncomfortable due to all the trash but the thought that comes to mind is, “someone oughta clean all this sh!t up.”
From what I get from other web sites, huge amounts of human waste and other trash were left behind and they are worried that when spring floods come it will wash into the river and through the reservation.
So much for “environmentalism”.
Soros isn’t paying them to clean up after themselves, Only to protest, so of course they aren’t going to clean up.
The protesters are children,and you know most children refuse to clean up after themselves.
Producing an actual disaster while protesting about an imaginary one.
This is today’s Left.
They left that military tent behind?Dang,those are 3-5K on the internet.
Those filthy pigs left their SLEEPING BAGS AND TENTS THERE???
What kind of animals are these “people?”
Should they even be allowed back into normal society?
Maybe they can be put in a Death Match with the Antifa sub-humans. They can eliminate each other like Matter and Anti-Matter!
DANG!
I hope someone took a lot of pictures and Trump will make sure they publish them. Also, whoever financed these protests should be forced to pay for the cleanup.
I dump google a while back. I use DuckDuckGo.com
Dump google. To them: you are their product. Every search, your emails, chrome, all calls home to give google info on you to sell. Do *YOU* get a cut?
A few drones sent up from the public highway would show the situation. Of course, a sheriff or highway patrolman would need to be close by to avoid an incident from those inside the compound who would come out to confront them. And if those inside are armed, they might want to try to shoot them out of the sky.
This is a link to the site that published the photos -

Yep, that’s good advice.
Thanks for the link.
The cleanup has not happened yet. The protesters are not scheduled to be gone until February 22. That is over two weeks from now.
Maybe they will clean up the site before they leave.
Unlikely, but it could happen...
