Enbridge's Line 5 Pipeline Faces Legal and Environmental Challenges in Michigan and Wisconsin
NATURAL GASDEFENSE
Enbridge's Line 5 pipeline is facing significant legal and environmental challenges in Michigan and Wisconsin, particularly concerning its underwater segment at the Straits of Mackinac and its route over the Bad River Reservation. The company plans to construct a new segment through a tunnel and reroute the Wisconsin portion, both of which require federal approval amid ongoing legal disputes, including Michigan's attempts to shut down the pipeline.
The U.S. Supreme Court is involved following a ruling that allows Enbridge to sue Michigan, while various agencies are reviewing the necessary permits for the proposed projects.
