Dingell Statement on Enbridge’s Delayed Disclosure of Damage to Line 5

U.S. Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (MI-12) released the following statement after Enbridge announced previously unreported damage to the Line 5 pipeline.

“These latest revelations are deeply disturbing. Michiganders deserve accurate information about the quality and condition of the pipelines, which carry 23 million gallons of oil through the Straits of Mackinac every day. Enbridge has repeatedly failed to disclose damage and potential vulnerabilities to Line 5 in a timely manner. This is unacceptable, and why Congressman Dave Trott and I have introduced legislation to ensure a comprehensive study of the pipelines. If Line 5 is found to be unsafe, it should be shut down.”
