Fong Division Director, Water Division US EPA Region 5 77 West Jackson Boulevard Chicago, IL 60604 Re: Enbridge Line 5 Wisconsin Segment Relocation -- Enbridge Outstanding Request for a Meeting with EPA Dear Regional Administrator Shore and Division Director Fong: I am writing to renew Enbridge's request for a meeting with you and other appropriate EPA officials, together with officials from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers ("Corps") and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources ("WDNR") to discuss our Line 5 Wisconsin Segment Relocation Project ("Relocation"). On March 6, 2023, I wrote to you both requesting a meeting to discuss our plan to address EPA's comments to the Corps, including how we intend to design and construct the Relocation in the least impactful manner to the environment and waters. Director Fong responded via email on April 10, 2023, indicating that EPA needed to contact other governmental parties to discuss the possibility of a meeting with Enbridge. While we have not heard further from you, in the intervening four months additional work has been done and more information has been compiled that we believe further addresses EPA's comments. We would like to share our project information with you and explain how it demonstrates that there will be no adverse impacts from the Relocation, including to downstream water resources on the Bad River Reservation. As you may know, the need for resolution of this matter and permitting of the Relocation has taken on some additional urgency given the June 16, 2023 injunction issued by the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin that would require Line 5 to be closed on the Reservation by June 16, 2026. We look forward to meeting with you and your colleagues at your earliest convenience. Once again, if you are able to provide me with EPA's availability for a meeting in Chicago, I will coordinate with the Corps and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to find a date that works for all parties.
