Founded in April 1977 by Fayette County (Iowa) farmer Jim Lein, Reroute Crude Oil eventually grew to a membership of 4,100 persons in Iowa, Illinois, and Minnesota. The group formed in response to Northern Pipe Line Company's planned crude oil pipeline, which was intended to run from Wood River, Illinois to Pine Bend, Minnesota. Because Jim Lein and his wife, Donna, knew of the difficulties other eastern Iowa farmers had experienced during the building of a Dome Corporation pipeline, they resolved that they would try to prevent the project. After consultation with then Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bob Lounsberry, Lein got in touch with lawyer Patrick Roby, who had represented landowners affected by the Dome Corporation pipeline. Roby advised organizing farmers all along the Iowa portion of the route. As a corporation, they would have standing to intervene in the hearing process. Within eleven days, Lein had contacts in the nine counties on the pipeline route, and Reroute Crude Oil had been incorporated. Lein was named Executive Director. Eventually the group had members in branches in Minnesota and Illinois as well. The organization voiced varied concerns in opposition to the pipeline. On an individual basis, farmers were troubled by the immediate inconvenience and long-term effects of having a crude oil pipeline crossing their property. On an environmental basis, the Northern Pipe Line route crossed a major freshwater aquifer encompassing portions of Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota. An oil spill had the potential to do serious damage to the area's water supply. The organization also presented the view that the Northern Pipe Line (later renamed Northern Tier Pipe Line) had more to do with financial gains for Koch Industries, the parent company of Northern Pipe Line Company, than it did with the public interest. Although Koch Industries obtained the certificates and permits to build in all three states, Reroute Crude Oil filed suit and eventually took their case to each state's Supreme Court. Eventually, in 1980, the Iowa Natural Resources Council withheld approval of three of Northern's planned stream crossings because of the fear of underground water pollution in the broken limestone of northeast Iowa. Shortly thereafter, Williams Pipe Line announced expansion of its crude oil pipeline along a long-established route through Osceola, Des Moines, and Mason City. Koch Industries joined in this project and abandoned the route through northeast Iowa. Though the battle took ninety percent of Lein's time for three years and cost Reroute Crude Oil $152,000 in legal fees and other expenses, in the end founder Jim Lein said, "It was very definitely worth it. You hear so much about not having a chance to change things. How you just get run over by government or Big Business. But we proved a person can do something. We've made the system work." |
This collection (1963-1988, n.d.) contains business material from Reroute Crude Oil branches in Iowa, Minnesota, and Illinois such as correspondence, reports, newsletters, meeting minutes, petition, and surveys. Also included is legal material from Reroute Crude Oil as well as Northern Tier Pipeline and Williams Pipe Line including court case transcripts, hearing exhibits, hearing testimonies, permit cancellations, and appeals. This collection also includes a large amount of reference material such as reports from the federal government, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and other political and conservation organizations concerning energy use and transportation, oil use, fuel alternatives, and several reports on consumption of fuel in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. The collection contains several news clippings about the ongoing battle between the two organizations as well as propaganda cartoons from various newspapers and magazines used during Reroute Crude Oil's campaign. In addition, this collection contains several photographs of pipeline construction, farms affected by construction, and the aftermath of an oil spill which occurred during construction and several topographical and plat maps on the area of proposed construction. Acronyms used throughout this collection: DOE: U.S. Department of Energy |
