North Meander Bend (Downstream) Meander Neck Line 5 pipeline South Meander Bend (Upstream) Oxbow Lake (former channel location) Open Letter to the Bad River Band of the Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa What is the plan for monitoring conditions at the Bad River Meander? Line 5 crosses under the Bad River just west of two bends forming a meander on the Bad River Reservation Erosion caused by melting snow and weather events over the years, has brought the bank of the south bend of the Meander closer to the pipeline than in previous years Enbridge and the Band have been monitoring the Bad River channel at the Line 5 prossing for many years Since 2020, Enbridge has submitted 14 applications to address potential pipeline exposure due to bank erosion at the Meander. These proposals included proven erosion control projects routinely and successfully used across the country, the same type of projects the Band itself has approved for erosion control near another company's pipeline on the Reservation Enbridge watches the Meander and shares information from these observations with the Bad River Band. Enbridge just instated new cameras with better night vision capables. The cameras and markers are positioned at measured intervals along the riverbank Together they tell us if erosion has occurred, and when to follow the court- any erosion prevention measures of its own ondered plan for a temporary shutdown of Unfortunately, no Enbridge proposal has been approved nor has the Band installed the pipeline The Line Smonitoring, temporary shutdown and restart plan lays out monitoring methods, frequency, and triggers for a series of actions, including: Should a flooding event occur, Line 5 will be temporarily shut down. It will restart after floodwaters recede. Enbridge will confirm Line 5 is safe and the ne will resume operation. Which is a good thing for the millions of people who rely on Line 5 for energy everyday-including those who live in local communities It's time to talk about solutions. Leadership at the Band has indicated in no uncertain tors that they will not approve ANY measures to remove the threat at the meander and the only acceptable outcome for them is the shutdown of the fine. That is not a practical solution but relocating Line 5 off the Bad River Reservation will permanently eliminate any risk at the Meander and throughout the reservation The relocation will not only remove Line 5 the Reservation, but also create hundreds of millions of dollars in local project spending hundreds of construction jobs, and millions of dollars businesses Tribal community investments, and hiring and training local Native American workers We remain open to working collaboratively with the land to prevent erosion and ensure safe operation of Line 5 across th Bad River Reservation until the relocation project is complete Questions?
