Line 5: NPDES Draft Permit – Virtual Meeting & Public Hearing

June 18, 2026 | Virtual

Enbridge is asking permission to cause irreparable damage to Lake Michigan, one of the world's most ecologically sensitive and important freshwater passages. This is one of our last chances to tell EGLE to reject Enbridge’s dangerous and unnecessary tunnel project by denying Enbridge permission to pollute the Great Lakes.
