ST. PAUL– The Minnesota DNR and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency will not take any further action on Enbridge’s Line 3 applications until the Public Utilities Commission addresses the Environmental Impact Statement deficiency.
The Minnesota Court of Appeals says the original final EIS failed to address the impact of an oil spill into the Lake Superior Watershed.
The MPCA will not release draft permits or the 401 water quality certification on the first of July as previously scheduled, and neither agency will take any further permitting action until there is an approved EIS by the PUC.
