BISMARCK, N.
D.
? An appeals court on Saturday refused a request from two American Indian tribes for an "emergency" order that would prevent oil from flowing through Dakota Access pipeline.
The appeals court said the tribes hadn`t met "the stringent requirements" for such an order.
The tribes fear the pipeline could harm their water supply and their right to practice their religion, which relies on clean water.
The Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Sioux tribes have challenged an earlier ruling by U.
S.
District Judge James Boasberg not to stop final construction of the pipeline, and they wanted the appeals court to halt any oil flow until that`s resolved.
The company is wrapping up pipe work under the lake and has said oil could start flowing between Monday and Wednesday.
