Corps of Engineers Grants Final Federal Permit for Enbridge Line 3

摘要

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers approved the final federal permit for Enbridge Energy's planned Line 3 crude pipeline replacement across northern Minnesota.The company now only needs for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency to issue a storm water construction permit to protect surface waters from runoff while it is being built, and then for the independent Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to give a final go-ahead. The PUC has already approved the project several times."These permits are yet another science-based approval for the project moving Line 3 closer to the start of construction," Enbridge said in a statement. "Final state permits and authorizations are needed for work to begin before the end of 2020."
