The Dakota Access was originally intended to be routed near Bismark; residents protested and refused construction near them out of concerns for environmental safety and suggested it be placed elsewhere. DAPL was then re-routed near Standing Rock. Not much of a  of a "not in my backyard" protest as you don't see Standing Rock fighting for a re-route. 

In any case it a'int your "backyard". You may think a little different if it was unless, of course, one can rely on spill money to pay their bills. Good luck with that.
