Enbridge Line 3 Faces More Legal Scrutiny

摘要

Minnesota appeals court judges are weighing whether to uphold a state-level water quality permit for Enbridge’s Line 3 pipeline replacement project, even as the same court prepares to rule later this month on the state’s approval of the project’s route and “need” determination. The water quality challenge is the second pending dispute of state approvals for the project before the appellate court. The court is expected to rule by Jun. 21 on whether the state correctly found that the project is needed, which could potentially have a bigger impact on whether the Line 5 replacement becomes ensnared in further delays.
