Hello,
The Line 5 pipeline poses catastrophic risks to the Treaty protected lands, pristine natural areas, valuable freshwater sources (including 400 rivers, streams, and wetlands), and farmland that it cuts through. The pipeline – which is decades past its lifespan – is currently pumping 23 million gallons of crude oil and natural gas liquids daily, illegally in trespass.
The draft EA is inadequate, and with the significant risks associated with this deteriorating pipeline, we urge the Army Corps to conduct a full Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the reroute. Ultimately, the Army Corps should reject this permit and Line 5 must be shut down.
Deadline to sign on is Thursday, August 1st
