The DNR has moved forward with the permitting process and has released the draft Environmental Impact Statement for the pipeline.
The DNR is taking comments on the draft EIS through April 15 and held a virtual hearing on February 2 that lasted 10 hours, with 147 people speaking in opposition to Line 5.
Learn how to submit a comment to the DNR here.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, a federal agency headed by President Biden, also opened a comment period on a permit for Enbridge to fill wetlands and do horizontal directional drilling.
They took public comments through March 22.
