State approves work on oil pipeline under Mackinac Straits

Despite recent accidents and warnings from environmental groups and a local lawmaker, the Michigan Dept. of Natural Resources and Environment has given the OK for underwater oil pipeline work by Enbridge Energy Partners at the Straits of Mackinac. Enbridge Energy Partners, still busy cleaning up oil pipeline spills in Marshall, Michigan and Romeoville, Ill., has come under intense scrutiny for its pipeline maintenance procedures. This week the company plans to begin work on the section of pipeline that crosses one of the state’s most sensitive waterways.
