Court throws replacement of Enbridge Line 3 into limbo; judges rebuke state agency

The Minnesota Court of Appeals reversed a ruling by state utility regulators on the environmental impact statement for Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline, throwing new uncertainty on the controversial project.

The court ruled Monday that the statement was "inadequate because it did not address the potential impact of an oil spill into the Lake Superior watershed." The decision to omit this issue was "arbitrary and capricious," the Appeals Court ruled.
