Freshwater Future
Take Action: No Oil in the Great Lakes

Recently, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers announced the fast-tracking of the federal permit for the Line 5 tunnel citing a “national energy emergency”. This means the federal permit will likely be granted without a full environmental review and a shortened timeline. However, the Canadian company still needs approval for two permits from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE).

Please ask EGLE Director, Phil Roos and Governor Whitmer to deny all permits for Line 5. The pipeline and tunnel are huge threats to our Great Lakes that provide drinking water to over 40 million people, provide the bedrock of our economy, and are the largest source of surface freshwater on earth.

RE: Stand Strong for the Great Lakes - No Permits for Line 5 Tunnel

Dear Governor Whitmer and Director Roos,

I am writing to urge you to protect the Great Lakes and deny all permits for Enbridge’s proposed Line 5 tunnel under the Straits of Mackinac.

Please deny the tunnel project permits and champion the drinking water of millions, our economy, and the largest system of surface freshwater on earth.

Sincerely, [Your information here]
