A Forward: Tell the Army Corps: The Line 3 tar sands pipeline puts us all at risk.

We've got just four days left on our only chance to officially tell the federal government to protect us from the risks posed by Line 3. Larger than Keystone XL, it's a massive tar sands pipeline that would transport 760,000 barrels of dirty tar sands oil through our communities and waterways every day. Tell the Army Corps to put the brakes on a project that could devastate our fresh water supply and critical Indigenous cultural resources for generations to come.

More than 20,000 Sierra Club supporters stepped up like we haven't seen in a long time to ask that the Army Corps extend the public comment period for Enbridge's Line 3, a massive dirty tar sands pipeline that's larger than Keystone XL.
No word on an extension yet, but with the public comment period closing in only 4 days, we can't wait. We need to submit as many official comments as we can telling the Army Corps not to grant Enbridge one of the few federal permits they need to start construction until adequate environmental review has been done.
Tell the Army Corps: The dirty tar sands Line 3 pipeline puts our water at risk..
Line 3 would transport 760,000 barrels of dirty tar sands oil through our communities every day. It would cross the Mississippi River, northern Minnesota lake country, pristine wild rice lakes, the Lake Superior watershed, Chippewa National Forest, and the Fond du Lac Reservation -- home to the Ojibwe people who have lived in the Great Lakes region since before 800 A.D.
Enbridge, the Canadian company pushing Line 3, has a terrible track record of devastating pipeline spills. Between 1999 and 2010, it was responsible for more than 800 pipeline spills, including the Kalamazoo River disaster which saw 843,000 gallons of toxic tar sands crude dumped into Michigan's waterways -- costing more than a billion dollars in cleanup costs and making local residents sick.
The truth with these hazardous pipelines is it's not a matter of if a pipeline will spill, but when. Tar sands are one of the dirtiest sources of oil on the planet, and when they spill into water they are nearly impossible to clean up. For a massive project like this where so much is at risk, we need a robust environmental review.
Tell the Army Corps: No fast tracked permit for the dirty Line 3 tar sands pipeline.
The Army Corps federal Clean Water Act permit (called a Section 404 permit) is one of the only chances all of us across the country will officially have to weigh in against this massive tar sands pipeline. Because Line 3 puts so many major bodies of water that all of us rely on at risk, the Army Corps shouldn't be rushing this permit..
If we are going to stop the Army Corps from moving forward as planned, we need to show just how many people are on our side. The more of us that step up, the better our chances of fighting back against this dirty tar sands pipeline.
