The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has approved Enbridge's plan to reroute a section of its Line 5 oil pipeline around the Bad River Reservation in Wisconsin. This permit allows for the construction of a new 41-mile segment to replace the existing pipeline that crosses tribal land. The Bad River Band previously filed a lawsuit over concerns regarding treaty rights and environmental risks. While this approval is a significant milestone, construction is contingent on confirming multiple state permits. Enbridge is also pursuing a tunnel project for the pipeline under the Straits of Mackinac.
