Willow Drilling Project, plus Navajo Water Rights at SCOTUS
This week, in our safety segment, we talk about trench shoring, sloping and shielding, and about noxious gas exposure. Then, host Brock Yordy covers U.S. Supreme Court arguments in Arizona v. Navajo Nation from Washington, D.C. It’s Driller Newscast episode 54.
“They [the Supreme Court justices] are getting very groundwater savvy and water-rights savvy, which we need in the highest court in the nation,” Yordy says. “But we also need to understand sovereign water rights to tribal nations should be senior water rights. We need to be advocating for this.”
