Enbridge to pay $11M
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and Department of Natural Resources ordered Enbridge to pay $11 million following aquifer breaches during construction of Line 3 last year.
Because of a breach on the Fond du Lac Reservation, the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa will receive $1.45 million of the $11 million.
