Project permit applications: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

In response to the request from the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians to remove Line 5 from its Reservation and subsequent lawsuit, Enbridge has submitted formal applications to relocate a 12-mile segment of Line 5, replacing it with approximately 41 miles of pipe outside the Reservation.

The proposed route was selected to avoid sensitive areas like Copper Falls State Park. Enbridge has come to agreement with landowners for critical land rights needed for the relocation of Line 5 in northern Wisconsin.

Enbridge has submitted formal applications to relocate a 12-mile segment of Line 5, replacing it with approximately 41 miles of pipe outside the Reservation. Several permitting agencies review the project. Construction will not begin until permits are received.

The Corps regulates placement of fill material in wetlands and other waters, as well as work and structures in navigable waters. The Corps does not regulate the overall construction or operation of pipelines, nor does it regulate the siting of any type of pipeline or any substance being transported within a pipeline. The Corps is one of several permitting agencies to review the project.
