OWDM Responds to U.S. Army Corps Approval of Line 5 Reroute in Wisconsin. Tribal sovereignty and treaty rights remain under threat While the reroute proposal may remove a portion of the pipeline from tribal lands, the permit fails to address the broader problem: this decision allows continued potential impacts on Bad River Band lands and reliance on a decades-old pipeline carrying millions of gallons of crude oil and natural-gas liquids daily through sensitive ecosystems in the Great Lakes Basin. It signals a troubling pattern of fast-tracked fossil-fuel infrastructure approvals that prioritize corporate interests...

It’s 2010 - Talmadge Creek, Marshall, Michigan. On Sunday, July 25, an Enbridge pipeline ruptures and more than one million gallons of crude oil surge down Talmadge and into the Kalamazoo. The event becomes one of the worst inland oil spills of all time.

Is Line 5 the real lake monster this Halloween? 🎃 With the threat of an oil spill haunting the Great Lakes, it's like a horror story - but we have the power to shut it down.

Don't let an environmental nightmare unfold.

Shutting down Line 5 is as much an imaginative problem as it is a legal one. Let's consider what life would be like if this ticking time bomb was never built.

Over 50 people showed up last week to hear an update on the damage to the Line 3 corridor in MN from drone pilot Bee Kakac!

We need our state agencies to do better -- not only in monitoring and holding Enbridge accountable for damage, but preventing it by not allowing pipelines through our waters.
