News that a Canadian-owned pipeline had what is considered the largest oil spill in Wisconsin history last month has raised concerns about another of the company's lines, which runs through the northern part of the state as well as the Great Lakes basin.
On Nov. 14, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources announced it had approved the reroute of the controversial Line 5 pipeline in northern Wisconsin – a project that environmental groups and Great Lakes tribes say continues to put the world’s largest surface freshwater system at risk.
Then, last week, it was publicly learned that Enbridge Energy’s Line 6 – a 465-mile pipeline carrying crude oil from Superior, Wisconsin, to a terminal near Griffith, Indiana – spilled an estimated 1,650 barrels, or 69,300 gallons, in the town of Oakland in Jefferson County, according to federal officials.Related post:
