ASHLAND COUNTY (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has approved Enbridge's plan to reroute an aging oil pipeline in Ashland County. Enbridge wants to build a new 41-mile segment of pipeline to bypass the reservation of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. The tribe and environmental groups oppose the project. They argue it underestimates environmental damage and perpetuates fossil fuel use. The opponents are suing to reverse state construction permits. Enbridge has used Line 5 to transport crude oil and natural gas liquids since 1953. The company calls the federal approval a major milestone.
