Defend the Sacred - Water is Life - Great Lakes Restoration Initiative
Engage,Demand the EPA and Federal Agencies Address the
Imminent Catastrophe of Line 5 in Bad River Wisconsin,
The Imminent Oil Disaster in Lake Superior and the Great Lakes!
Urgent Immediate Demand to Shut Down Line 5 Permanently!

As the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and its federal partners develop an updated action plan for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, they are seeking public input. Starting in June, EPA will begin a series of public-input sessions on Great Lakes restoration and protection priorities.

At each session, EPA will provide a quick overview of the GLRI and the purpose of the action plan, and then give public participants an opportunity to directly interact with EPA staff and ask questions and provide comments. Crude oil pipelines are briefly mentioned in Lake Superior's 2020-2024 Lakewide Action Management Plan and there are no specific pipelines or pipeline companies named.

Background: The Great Lakes Restoration Initiative was launched in 2010 to accelerate efforts to protect and restore the largest system of fresh surface water in the world - to provide additional resources to make progress toward the most critical long-term goals for this important ecosystem. For more information on current Great Lakes Restoration Initiative plan please see GLRI Action Plan III (FY2020-2024)
