Tribes, environmental advocates decry Michigan's approval of Line 5 permits. Critics vow appeals as Enbridge moves closer to building controversial tunnel beneath Straits Two state agencies charged with overseeing Michigan's natural resources and the environment have approved another set of permits for Enbridge's Line 5 tunnel project, pushing the Canadian energy company closer to the full approval needed to begin construction. The Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy announced Wednesday that it had reapproved a set of permits that expired earlier this year, concerning wetlands resources and the Great Lakes submerged lands. It follows a 2024 agreement between Enbridge, EGLE and the Bay Mills Indian Community, where the company agreed to redo its Part 303 and 325 permits to incorporate new wetland survey results. The Department of Natural Resources also approved a Part 365 permit, which will require Enbridge to take steps to reduce its impacts on rare plants and animals while constructing the tunnel. Great Lakes Tribal Nations and environmental advocates have called on state officials to shut down Line 5 for years. The controversial pipeline runs from Superior, Wisconsin to Sarnia, Ontario, with a 4.5-mile segment of dual pipelines running through the Straits of Mackinac, where Lake Michigan and Lake Huron meet. Opponents, including Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, have repeatedly raised concerns about the threat of an oil spill in the straits, with the Oil and Water Don't Mix Coalition arguing that taxpayers could be left on the hook for $4 billion should Line 5 rupture. In 2018, Line 5 was damaged by a boat anchor dragged along the bottom of the straits, which dented the dual pipelines in three places. Enbridge later agreed to replace the dual pipelines with a new segment housed within a utility tunnel beneath the lakebed. While Enbridge says the tunnel project will mitigate risks around future anchor strikes and an oil spill, Line 5 opponents are continuing to advocate for a shutdown, arguing the geological conditions of the lakebed are not stable for drilling, and that the construction process could also result in the release of oil or natural gas liquids from the existing pipeline. Environmental advocates have pointed to the release of 1,900 gallons of drilling fluid amid Enbridge's effort to reroute Line 5 in Wisconsin as further evidence of their concerns, arguing the release is in violation of waterway and wetland permit conditions. Opponents say major legal hurdles remain. The project is still awaiting approval from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and another permit, which would allow Enbridge to discharge up to 6 million gallons of treated wastewater into the Great Lakes each day as the company builds the tunnel, remains under EGLE review. Another major permit, issued by the Michigan Public Service Commission, is under review by the Michigan Supreme Court following a challenge from the Bay Mills Indian Community, Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, and Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi and several environmental advocacy groups. Debbie Chizewer, a managing attorney for Earthjustice, which represents the Bay Mills Indian Community, told Michigan Advance they expect to appeal the EGLE permits, as they have done previously. Whitney Gravelle, president of the Bay Mills Indian Community, called the permitting decision a betrayal. "The Straits of Mackinac, the sacred place where my Tribe's creation story begins, have been handed over to a foreign corporation with a history that is nothing short of disastrous," Gravelle said in a statement. "Enbridge has spilled oil, committed safety violations, trespassed on lands, shattered ecosystems, pierced aquifers, violated our laws, and repeatedly shown contempt for tribal sovereignty. They have left devastation in their wake, and now they're being rewarded with responsibility over one of the most precious and sacred resources in our state. The Great Lakes are not safe in their hands." In a press release announcing the permitting decision, EGLE said its 16-month review of the permit "concluded that the public and private need for the proposed activity outweighed other public interest criteria." Critics call permits a betrayal. Following the decision, several environmental advocacy organizations criticized Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and her administration, arguing the governor had softened her stance on the pipeline after pledging to take action against Line 5 in her 2018 campaign for governor. As governor, Whitmer has authority over EGLE and the DNR and the final say on how or if these projects move forward, Beth Wallace, the climate and energy director for the National Wildlife Federation, told the Advance Thursday. "EGLE has once again approved a set of permits where they have failed to consider or even look at the harm that is going to be caused from the actual construction of the pipeline," Wallace said. "Enbridge and Governor Whitmer have allowed a permit to move forward that only looks at shoreline impacts in the wetlands from them starting the construction." State Rep. Betsy Coffia, a Democrat from Traverse City, also voiced her discontent with the decision in a Facebook post, where she spoke out against Whitmer's appearance with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman at a groundbreaking for the Saline Township data center, and her decision to veto nine bills passed at the end of 2024, when Democrats held the majority in both the House and Senate. "I am especially grieved by this profound disrespect to our tribal nations who have been on the front lines on this case for years, fighting to protect our precious Great Lakes," Coffia said. "Let's be honest. Michigan government does not have a good track record of keeping our word with our Native brothers and sisters and today is a shameful new chapter in that betrayal to both the tribes and the precious, Great Lakes waters, they have protected for generations." Wallace similarly pointed to the governor's support for data center development. "You saw yesterday that she has come up with a pledge for data centers to do the right thing, and we're seeing very much in this moment that those types of commitments have fallen very short and are very shallow, and we actually need leaders to demand better and uphold our laws instead of taking pledges from the corporations," Wallace said. Whitmer's office did not respond to several requests for comment left through text message and voicemail. This story will be updated if a response is received. While the department's decision dealt a clear blow to those advocating against the pipeline, Enbridge spokesperson Ryan Duffy said the permits were an important step forward for the project. "We are reviewing the new permit conditions issued today to assess any impacts on tunnel construction," Duffy said in a statement Wednesday evening. The Great Lakes Michigan Jobs coalition, which consists of several business, industry and labor groups, also cheered the permit approvals. "Union members across the Upper Peninsula back the Tunnel because it protects the Great Lakes, creates and supports great jobs and great paychecks, and it's a big part of our energy mix," Mike Smith, the executive director of the UP Construction Council, said in a statement. "Today's news represents just one more important step on that path, and we're eager for regulators to give every green light needed to start construction." In 2022, an Enbridge consultant determined a shutdown of the pipeline would result in a half-cent-per-gallon increase on gas, jet fuel and diesel in Michigan and Wisconsin, and a 5-cent-per-gallon increase in Ontario. 3:03 pm - This story has been updated after a previous version misstated the amount of drilling fluid spilled.
Enbridge starts construction on $4 billion Sunrise pipeline expansion. July 21, 2026 Enbridge has begun construction on its $4 billion Sunrise Expansion in British Columbia, adding 87 miles of pipeline and 300 million cubic feet per day of capacity to the Westcoast natural gas transmission system. (P&GJ) - Enbridge has begun construction on its $4 billion Sunrise Expansion Program in British Columbia, a project that will add 300 million cubic feet per day of natural gas transportation capacity to the company's Westcoast pipeline system while supporting growing LNG exports from Canada's West Coast. The project follows federal approval granted in April and is designed to increase capacity on the Westcoast natural gas transmission system serving British Columbia, Alberta and the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Construction includes approximately 87 miles (140 km) of new pipeline installed through 11 looping segments, along with additional compression and upgrades to existing facilities. Once complete, the expansion will increase pipeline capacity by up to 300 million cubic feet per day, helping meet rising natural gas demand in British Columbia and supplying LNG export projects, including Woodfibre LNG. Enbridge said the project is expected to create approximately 2,500 construction jobs and generate more than $3 billion in economic activity. The company also said Canadian-produced steel supplied by InterPro Pipe + Steel will be used throughout the expansion. Last year, 38 Indigenous communities in British Columbia acquired a 12.5% ownership interest in Enbridge's Westcoast pipeline system through the federal Indigenous Loan Guarantee Program. Enbridge said it has spent more than $52 million with Indigenous-owned businesses on the Sunrise Expansion to date. Enbridge President and CEO Greg Ebel said construction marks an important milestone for the project. "This project will strengthen energy security, support economic growth, create jobs and help ensure Canadians have access to reliable, affordable energy for decades to come." Canada's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Tim Hodgson, said the project advanced from federal approval to construction in about three months. "The Sunrise Expansion Program shows how Canada is getting major projects built." The Sunrise Expansion is expected to strengthen natural gas transportation capacity as demand grows from domestic consumers, industrial users and LNG export facilities on Canada's West Coast.
State agencies issue permits for Line 5 tunnel under Straits of Mackinac; other permits sit in queue. Michigan Public and Interlochen Public Radio | By Tracy Samilton, Published July 15, 2026 at 8:06 PM EDT Two state agencies have issued permits for Enbridge Energy's proposed tunnel to replace the existing 73-year-old dual pipelines on the lakebed under the Straits of Mackinac. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy said the tunnel plans underwent a comprehensive review and meet regulatory and statutory requirements, including a mitigation plan for impacts to wetlands and cultural resources. The agency review concluded that "the public and private need for the proposed activity outweighed other public interest criteria." As a condition of the permit, Enbridge will be required to submit an improved wetland mitigation plan to address wetland impacts. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources as also issued a permit, this one needed for the tunnel project under Part 365 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act. The environmental group Flow Water Advocates denounced the issuance of the permits, saying the state has failed to carry out its duties under the Michigan Wetlands Protection Act (Part 303), the Great Lakes Submerged Lands Act (Part 325), and the Public Trust Doctrine - and also disregarded tens of thousands of public comments, in favor of a Canadian owned pipeline company that primarily delivers crude oil to Canada. "That these heartbreaking permit decisions were announced during a period of dangerously bad air quality due to climate change-related wildfires is sadly poetic," said Liz Kirkwood, Flow Water Advocates executive director. "It's a stark illustration that building this tunnel and further entrenching the burning of fossil fuels isn't just wrong for the Straits and Michiganders, it's wrong for the planet." Enbridge spokesperson Ryan Duffy said the permits are an important step forward for the project, which will protect the Great Lakes while keeping energy flowing to the state and region, and that Line 5 continues to operate safely. The DNR said its permit requires several measures by Enbridge to reduce impacts on rare plants and animals. The DNR determined the tunnel project would adversely impact two federally and state threatened plant species - Houghton's goldenrod and dwarf lake iris, as well as several bat habitats. But the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service also considered the expected impacts, and concluded that the tunnel project would not jeopardize the continued existence of these species. The DNR concurred, but said it developed a set of permit requirements to lessen impacts on plants and animals on the state's list of threatened species. Specifically, Enbridge Energy must: * Keep topsoil and collect seeds to be used to restore part of the Houghton's goldenrod and dwarf lake iris populations after construction. * Monitor the restored areas for at least five years to ensure healthy regrowth. * Clear trees only during winter months to avoid disturbing bats. * Take care throughout construction zones to avoid damaging sensitive plant areas. * Keep surrounding vegetation as natural as possible and limit herbicide use. * Consider long-term protection, such as a conservation easement, to protect surrounding rare plants. * Explore additional opportunities to support recovery efforts for impacted rare plants. Meanwhile, a number of other required permits remain to be issued, including a renewal of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit. The program controls the discharge of pollutants into surface waters by imposing limitations to protect water quality. The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy said there are also ongoing court cases involving the existing Line 5 pipelines. "Earlier this year, the United States Supreme Court unanimously determined that the Michigan Attorney General's lawsuit seeking to shut down the pipelines should proceed in state court," EGLE said in a press release. "That lawsuit, along with a related case involving Governor (Gretchen) Whitmer's efforts to revoke the pipeline's easement, remains active while a federal appeal continues." "The broader dispute involves questions about state authority and long-standing concerns related to environmental and public trust impacts. A final decision in these proceedings will determine whether the existing pipelines may continue to operate," EGLE said. More information about the Line 5 project and related state actions is available from the state government at Line 5 in Michigan.

Enbridge helps honour fallen D-Day soldiers with a first-of-its-kind monument at Juno Beach. Community. Monument on French coast will list names of all 381 Canadians who died on D-Day June 05, 2026 June 6 marks D-Day - the day Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy in 1944, changing the course of the Second World War and shaping the freedoms Enbridge Energy know today. On this solemn anniversary, Enbridge is honouring that legacy by supporting the creation of the Canadian D-Day monument at the Juno Beach Centre in Normandy, France, a first-of-its-kind memorial that will permanently list the names of all 381 Canadians who died on D-Day. The monument will be five metres tall and stand on one of the most historically significant shorelines in the world, ensuring that the sacrifices made by Canadian service members on June 6, 1944, are remembered for generations to come. It's expected to be completed by June 2028 to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Juno Beach Centre's opening. "Supporting this monument reflects Enbridge's commitment to remembrance and corporate citizenship. Honouring sacrifice on the shoreline where soldiers gave their lives is deeply meaningful, especially as we continue our work along the Normandy coast," said Allen Capps, Enbridge's Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy and President of its Power business, who also served more than four years on active duty as a reconnaissance and surveillance soldier and paratrooper in the U.S. Army. Capps, along with George Walley, Enbridge's Vice President of Offshore Wind, will represent Enbridge at a D-Day commemorative ceremony at the Juno Beach Centre on Saturday. The connection between past sacrifice and future responsibility is uniquely reflected along the Normandy coast today. Just offshore from Juno Beach, Enbridge, alongside its partners, is developing the Courseulles (Calvados) Offshore Wind Project. At left, artist's rendering of the D-Day monument at Juno Beach Centre, expected to be completed by June 2028. At right, the entrance to Juno Beach in Normandy, France. "The same coastline where soldiers once landed under fire is now home to infrastructure supporting energy security, sustainability, and economic resilience," said Chris LaBossiere, President of the Juno Beach Centre Association. "Through both its infrastructure investments and its support of the Juno Beach Centre, Enbridge is demonstrating a clear alignment with our work as a leader in sustainable tourism by connecting remembrance with a shared responsibility to protect and sustain this site for future generations." Honouring D-Day through the Courseulles (Calvados) Offshore Wind Project. When construction started at Courseulles-sur-Mer (Calvados), Enbridge and its partners announced that each wind turbine will be named after a ship that participated in Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy. This helped ensure the project became a living memorial, embedding remembrance directly into the landscape and seascape of Normandy. The wind project is located approximately 10 kilometres north of Juno Beach, where the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division landed on June 6, 1944. Among the vessels honoured are Canadian ships HMCS Huron and HMCS Regina, as well as American ships SS Jeremiah O'Brien and USS Satterlee, four of the more than 5,000 vessels that supported the Allied landings. As part of a decade-long stakeholder engagement process, the project team worked closely with historians, Veterans' associations, museum representatives, and the Calvados National Office of Veterans and War Victims. Final vessel selections reflect historical accuracy, geographical balance, iconography, and each ship's role on D-Day. About the Courseulles (Calvados) Offshore Wind Project. The offshore wind farm consists of 64 offshore wind turbines with a total installed capacity of 450 megawatts (MW). In 2028, the project is expected to generate enough renewable electricity to power nearly 300,000 homes in the Normandy region. "Honouring sacrifice on the shoreline where soldiers gave their lives is deeply meaningful, especially as we continue our work along the Normandy coast." Allen Capps SVP, Corporate Strategy and President, Power About the Juno Beach Centre. The Juno Beach Centre exists to preserve and share Canada's role in the Second World War and the values of freedom and democracy for future generations. Located in Courseulles-sur-Mer, France, it is Canada's only Second World War museum and memorial site on the Normandy landing beaches. As Exclusive Partner, Enbridge's support will help bring the D-Day monument to life as part of the Juno Beach Centre Association's Capital Campaign, ensuring the names, stories, and sacrifices of Canada's fallen are never forgotten. In 2025, the Centre welcomed more than 110,000 visitors, including students, families, Veterans' descendants, Canadian travelers, and international guests. Why is the Juno Beach Centre's Canadian D-Day monument significant? * The monument will list the names of all 381 Canadians who died on D-Day, creating a permanent and comprehensive tribute to those who lost their lives. * Located on the Normandy shoreline where Canadian forces landed, it honours sacrifice in a historically significant setting directly connected to the events of June 6, 1944. * As a first-of-its-kind memorial, it strengthens remembrance by ensuring the names and stories of fallen soldiers are preserved for future generations. * The monument reinforces the Juno Beach Centre's mission to preserve Canada's Second World War legacy and promote the enduring values of freedom and democracy.

Sierra Club Connecticut responds to Enbridge's project Beacon pipeline expansion proposal. May 20, 2026 HARTFORD, Conn. - Enbridge has unveiled "Project Beacon," a proposal to expand the so-called "Algonquin" Pipeline, a name appropriated from the Indigenous people of the region, by installing larger methane gas pipelines and new pipe routes. The gas pipeline runs from New Jersey to Massachusetts, through New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island carrying methane gas from the Marcellus shale region in Appalachia. Connecticut is already overreliant on methane gas for electricity when renewable options are readily available to meet the region's needs. Pipeline construction reportedly costs $12.1 million per mile, a high price tag that would be passed on to customers' through increased electricity and energy bills. For example, the vast majority (69 percent) of what Connecticut residents pay on their gas bills goes towards the construction and maintenance of distribution pipelines plus delivery, while the remaining amount covers the cost of the actual gas. Gas use and expansion also has negative public health impacts. Pipelines, and other fixtures of gas infrastructure along the route, leak methane gas and toxic chemicals into nearby communities. These pollutants are especially harmful to children and the elderly. For years, the Enbridge-owned compressor station in Cromwell, CT - located along the "Algonquin" pipeline and also slated for a capacity increase - violated their air permits, emitting excess amounts of health-harming volatile organic compounds (VOCs) within one mile of the Cromwell Middle School. In response to the "Project Beacon" proposal, Sena Wazer of Sierra Club Connecticut issued the following statement: "The expansion of Enbridge's pipeline will only raise energy costs and pollute communities. Our overreliance on methane gas is a primary driver of Connecticut's high electricity costs. Pipeline construction will add to those costs. And to top it off, Enbridge has been fined for exceeding its air pollution limits in our state. Governor Lamont and other Northeastern Governors must stand up and oppose any new gas pipeline expansions. Neither our wallets nor our health can afford it."
