Bad River tribe

After years of legal wrangling, energy company Enbridge has finally started rerouting an aging oil pipeline around a tribal reservation in northern Wisconsin.

One of the attorney’s representing the Bad River band feels such decisions endanger important public resources

The tribe claims the Corps' permitting approval for Canadian oil company Enbridge’s construction of a 41-mile pipeline relocation project is unlawful

Enbridge wants to build a new 41-mile segment of pipeline around the reservation of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa to replace a 12-mile segment that now crosses tribal land

Environmental groups and the Bad River Tribe are challenging permits the Wisconsin DNR issued to Enbridge in November for rerouting the pipeline

The new signs identify the Bad River’s Tribal boundaries and two river crossings in both their native language and in English

A northern Wisconsin tribe and a coalition of groups are moving to block plans to reroute an aging pipeline around the tribe's reservation. The Bad River Band of Lake Superior filed a lawsuit in Ashland County on Thursday challenging the validity of the environmental impact statement on rerouting Enbridge's Line 5.

The campaign includes eight Michigan universities, with schools in Wisconsin, Illinois and Canada

A legal challenge is expected since the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has granted key permit approvals to a Canadian energy company to reroute its controversial Line 5 pipeline in northern Wisconsin
