Sanitation crews are working hard to dispose of six months' worth of garbage from a community the size of Wahpeton or Valley City. The mountains of debris need to be moved before the spring thaw occurs.
Making a dent in the immense amount of trash being hauled out of the Oceti Sakowin protest camp is being hindered by the weather. All the garbage that was left behind is now frozen into massive chunks of junk.
In a month, all this trash could become toxic.
[...] It's estimated it will take 250 trucks filled with litter to clear the camp.

Hacking's just another word for nothing left to kludge.

All pipelines have this issue. We have thousands of miles of NG, gas, and oil piplines already. They have ways of dealing with that exact thing. They may have an idea or two on how to do it. Now it is just a mater of will they do it.
If you want to poke some holes in a pipe line look to Elon Musks hyperloop. THAT has some serious engineering challenges.

Catastrophic failure of a tunnel verses catastrophic failure of an unrefined fuel line. Hmm I'd say the former would be mostly civil cost, where as the latter is an environmental one. I'd take the former any day.
