A judge is clearing the way for the moving of an oil pipeline in northern Wisconsin.
Friday, the administrative law judge upheld state DNR permits that allow for the Enbridge Line 5 project to be rerouted. The Bad River Band opposed the project saying it would threaten the tribe’s way of life and impact their water quality. The judge wrote in her ruling the Band failed to present evidence that would happen.
Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline carries around 23-million gallons daily from Superior to Sarnia, Ontario.
