State OKs Line 5 tunnel permits — with a few caveats
State regulators approved two environmental permits for Enbridge Inc.’s Great Lakes Tunnel Project, allowing the company to replace a segment of Line 5 pipeline with a tunnel beneath the Straights of Mackinac. The permits include conditions to mitigate environmental impacts, but environmental groups argue the measures are insufficient to address risks of oil spills and ecological harm.
