Additional bands of snow and flurries are in store to the lee of the Great Lakes. Most areas from the New England and mid-Atlantic coasts to the Plains can expect a dry day. A stalled front will lead to clouds and showers from the coastal areas of the Carolinas to coastal and southern Texas, while sunshine and warmth hold over much of the Florida Peninsula. As a large storm pushes onshore, rain will soak the Pacific coast with areas of ice and snow inland over the West.

Dakota Access oil pipeline pro- testers who tried to set up a new camp on private land undermined the Standing Rock Sioux tribe's efforts to stop the $3.8 billion proj- ect, tribal Chairman Dave Archambault says. Archambault in recent weeks has been pushing protesters to leave their flood-prone main encamp- ment on federal land be- tween the reservation and the pipeline route and ask- ing that activism be spread around the U.S. He said ef- forts by some to estab- lish a camp Wednesday on nearby higher ground "do not represent the tribe." Authorities arrested 74 protesters, including American Indian activist Chase Iron Eyes, after they set up teepees Wednesday on land owned by Texas- based pipeline developer Energy Transfer Partners. Protesters said they were peacefully assembling on land they believe rightfully belongs to American Indi- ans. The Morton County Sheriff's Office initially re- ported 76 arrests but later said two were protesters accused of unrelated drug offenses. The new camp site was west of the main encamp- ment that for months has housed hundreds and sometimes thousands of people who support the tribe's position that the pipeline threatens their drinking water and Native American cultural sites. The pipeline would carry oil from North Dakota through the Dakotas and Iowa to a shipping point in Illinois. The route would go under Lake Oahe, a large reservoir along the Mis- souri River. Energy Trans- fer Partners disputes the tribe's arguments and says the pipeline will be safe. A few hundred people still remain in the main camp, which is being cleaned up this week in advance of spring flood- ing that could carry any remaining refuse into the Missouri River. Archam- bault in recent weeks has called for the camp to dis- band. PIPELINE Tribalchairmandecriesnewcampof Dakota Access protesters; 74 arrested By Robert Jablon The Associated Press LOS ANGELES A raucous crowd calling for the per- manent closure of the Aliso Canyon natural gas storage field after a months-long well leak that prompted mass evacuations cut short a public meeting, refusing to allow more comment from speakers who favor reopening the field. As the heads of two state agencies sat stolidly on stage, the facilitator of the scheduled public meeting in the San Fernando Val- ley declared that the atmo- sphere was just too heated and ended the gathering less than two hours after it began. "Shut it all down! Shut it all down!" the audience of around 300 chanted during Wednesday's meeting. Officials still plan to go ahead with a second public meeting on Thursday night. With more than 100 deep underground wells, Aliso Canyon is the larg- est natural gas storage site in the West and is consid- ered critical to the Los An- geles area for home heating and to power gas-fired elec- tricity plants during energy spikes. However, the Southern California Gas Co. facil- ity has been crippled more than a year since a blowout discovered in October 2015 released tons of methane into the air for four months, drove 8,000 families from their homes in and around the Porter Ranch neigh- borhood and led to mass complaints of health issues ranging from headaches to cancer. At the meeting, residents spoke about those issues and so did representatives of state and local government, who promised to fight re- opening of the field until it isclearwhatcausedtheleak. "I've seen the nosebleeds and the nausea. I've seen the pets you've lost and the family members that have been injured," said new state Sen. Henry Stern, D- Los Angeles. Stern's bill, SB146, would require that a probe of the root cause of the leak be completed before reopen- ing can be considered. Officials from the Los Angeles County fire and public health departments called for the completion of studies on earthquake risks and the health impact of the leak before reopening can be considered. Less than a third of the 113 wells at the aging for- mer oil field have passed rigorous inspections or- dered after the blowout. The remaining ones have been taken out of service and must pass state-man- dated tests within a year or be permanently sealed. Public comments were being accepted until Feb. 6 and the state could sign off as soon as this month to al- low use of the approved wells to store more gas — though the company would be restricted to about a third of the facility's stor- age capacity, according to the state Department of Conservation said. However, blackouts pre- dicted without the facility in full operation have not occurred.
