US Army Corps of Engineers approves Enbridge plan to encase aging Great Lakes oil pipeline
The federal permit allows Enbridge to impact waterways during construction of a 41-mile reroute around tribal land, despite ongoing litigation and environmental concerns.
- On Oct. 29, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approved federal permits for Enbridge Energy's Line 5 reroute in northern Wisconsin, with Adam Telle calling it a "great success" advancing the President’s energy agenda.
- Enbridge proposed the 41-mile reroute in 2020 to move the pipeline off the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa's land, relocating it through Ashland and Iron counties near Iron County State Forest and Copper Falls State Park.

- The corps had planned to issue a permitting decision early next year but fast-tracked the project after President Donald Trump ordered expedited emergency permitting; multiple lawsuits and U.S. Supreme Court review add legal uncertainty amid Michigan state officials' actions.
