White Earth Reservation Business Committee Continues Stand Against Line 3

Jun 28, 2021 | 1:43 PM

WHITE EARTH (KDLM) – The White Earth Reservation Business Committee continues to stand in opposition to the construction of the Enbridge Line 3 Replacement Project.

After concerned Band members reported water being taken from Upper Rice Lake, leaders from White Earth and Red Lake consulted with Acting Assistant Secretary of the Army (Civil Works) Jaime Pinkham and others to discuss concerns relating to the Army Corps of Engineers’ permit issued to Enbridge for the construction of Line 3.

The RBC is requesting the Army Corps rescind or suspend their permit and asked that the Biden Administration stand by its pledge to Indian Country and the environment by stopping the construction project. Conversations with the Army Corps are on-going and White Earth and others remain in federal litigation against the Army Corps regarding the permit.
