Enbridge Pipeline Operations at the North Dakota-Canada Border
This permit allows Enbridge to keep running an existing 20-inch pipeline that crosses the border between Canada and North Dakota. The pipeline carries crude oil and other petroleum products like gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel.
The company is now allowed to change how much oil flows through the pipe and which direction it moves without needing a new permit. This gives the company more flexibility to move fuel where it is needed most.
The government keeps the right to inspect the pipeline at any time to make sure it is safe and follows all environmental laws. If there is a national security emergency, the government can take control of the pipeline facilities.
Enbridge is responsible for all costs related to the pipeline, including any cleanups if there is a leak or spill. They must also follow all local, state, and federal safety rules to protect the surrounding land and water.
