Enbridge’s Line 5 carries oil and natural gas liquids between the United States and Canada, cutting through 12 miles of the Bad River Reservation. (CN) — A Seventh Circuit panel ruled Thursday that Enbridge Energy’s trespassing across the Bad River Reservation cannot continue unchecked but stopped short of shutting the pipeline down entirely. The 645-mile pipeline also cuts through 12 miles of tribal land owned by the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippwea Indians, which has sought its removal. Both parties appealed to the Seventh Circuit, forcing Conley to stay part of his prior order requiring Enbridge shut the line down completely if it missed the three-year deadline. Ruling on the appeal Thursday, the Seventh Circuit panel agreed Line 5 must be rerouted as soon as possible to protect the interests of the Band.
