LANSING, Mich. (WOOD) — Gov. Rick Snyder and Lt. Gov. Brian Calley are pushing for legal action after dents were found in Line 5.
The state was informed late Tuesday night there are three small dents in Line 5, which is likely due to the same vessel activity that could have caused damage to another line that released mineral spirits into the water. A Governor’s office release said Enbridge Inc. reported the dents are small and pose no threat to the pipeline, but the state will have its own experts verify the information.
Snyder is calling for an acceleration of studies on how to eliminate anchor strikes and the potential for tunneling, which would eliminate anchor risks, the release said. Legal actions against those responsible for the recent damage have also been requested.
