As the work to Shut Down Line 5 and prevent the proposed reroute continues, Enbridge has applied for new permits to do work at four stream crossings. Join us in speaking at an online public hearing to oppose these permits and ask the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to deny them!

The projects Enbridge proposes are permanent stream bank stabilization structures and the proposed reroute cannot be finished without them. Despite the necessity of these projects to the overall Reroute, Enbridge has failed to secure the necessary property interests at the four proposed project locations to be eligible for the permits it has applied for. If these permits are approved they will violate the rights of nearby riparians and the public, and facilitate the continued operation of Line 5, putting the people, land, and waters of northern Wisconsin at risk for decades to come. The time to transition away from our dependence on fossil fuels is now, and that goal cannot be accomplished by continuing to invest in dirty infrastructure and perpetuating the status quo.
