Enbridge - Reports for November 2017 Agreement

Posted by admin on Thu, 06/28/2018 - 3:52pm

In November 2017, the State entered into an agreement with Enbridge Energy Partners to provide greater safeguards for Line 5 in the Straits of Mackinac, even as a multi-department analysis to determine the future of the pipeline continued. The agreement required Enbridge to produce four reports that looked at various aspects of Line 5 in the Straits of Mackinac and across Michigan. This first report, due June 15, 2018, analyzes alternatives to the current Line 5 in the Straits. The other three reports due at the end of June look at ways to mitigate anchor strikes to Line 5, technologies to monitor the pipeline (split into 2 reports on coating technologies and leak detection), and identification of priority waterways throughout the state that Line 5 crosses and assessment of measures to minimize the likelihood and consequences of a spill

Public input will help to guide the State’s decision on the future of Line 5. You can offer comments before July 15 regarding the action you think the state should take.

Thoughtful analysis will be critical in determining a path forward that is protective of the Great Lakes and in the best interests of the state’s residents.
