(The Center Square) – A series of challenges to permits and approvals for a new 41-mile section of Enbridge’s Line 5 pipeline will take place starting Aug. 12 and running through Oct. 3.

Enbridge has proposed the 41-mile section to replace a 12-mile section of the pipeline through the Bad River Reservation in northern Wisconsin. The Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians filed a 2019 lawsuit to have the pipeline moved and is challenging approvals to the reroute by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.
