The assessments are:

  • Evaluation of underwater technologies to enhance leak detection and technologies to assess coating condition of the dual pipelines.
  • Evaluation and implementation of measures to mitigate potential vessel anchor strike.
  • Evaluation of Line 5 water crossings other than at the Straits.

These assessments are the result of the co-ordinated efforts between State-appointed experts, independent consultants and Enbridge.

Line 5 is a critical link in the Straits of Mackinac – connecting Michigan’s two peninsulas to safely and reliably deliver the energy Michigan families and businesses rely on every day.
