Public Comments

Written comments can be submitted by email comments to [email protected] (mailto:"[email protected]" ?subject=Enbridge%20Line%205%20Relocation) , or mail comments to "Line 5 Comments EA/7," 101 South Webster Street, Madison, WI 53707.

Should you be concerned?
D###ed right you should be! Enbridge, Inc. (a Canadian Company) owns and operates a liquid petroleum pipeline system that spans approximately 3,200 miles across North America and has been in operation since the 1950’s. That pipeline now crosses the land of The Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa and they've decided to kick Enbridge out, so Enbridge wants to build 46 miles of pipeline that skirts the Bad River Band's land and will permanently disturb 185 waterways and 30 acres of wetlands.

Enbridge's poor environmental history means their pipeline will remain a threat to the whole watershed in the area. Read the search results for Enbridge leaks history ([link removed]) - if nothing else just read headlines like "since 2002 ... one incident every 20 days on average."

Wisconsin's Pipeline Problem

Phyllis Hasbrouck, Organizer for Wisconsin Safe Energy Alliance (WiSE Alliance) will speak on "What is the state of Wisconsin's pipelines?". This is especially timely when you consider the Enbridge Line 5 Reroute proposal and The Governor's Task Force on Climate Change activities currently underway.

The presentation will be followed by a discussion of ongoing actions and how we, and you, can get involved and take action.

Bring ideas!
