1
00:00:00,701 --> 00:00:01,869
to Enbridge saying that

2
00:00:01,935 --> 00:00:03,136
you were deeply concerned

3
00:00:03,203 --> 00:00:04,304
about the latest spill

4
00:00:04,371 --> 00:00:06,106
and immensely frustrated

5
00:00:06,173 --> 00:00:07,007
by other recent

6
00:00:07,074 --> 00:00:08,842
noncompliant events

7
00:00:08,909 --> 00:00:10,310
and that you want the company

8
00:00:10,377 --> 00:00:11,812
to demonstrate that measures

9
00:00:11,879 --> 00:00:12,513
are in place to

10
00:00:12,579 --> 00:00:14,014
prevent future spills.

11
00:00:14,081 --> 00:00:14,915
Has the company

12
00:00:14,982 --> 00:00:16,216
demonstrated that?

13
00:00:16,283 --> 00:00:17,117
We continue to have

14
00:00:17,184 --> 00:00:18,619
ongoing discussions with

15
00:00:18,685 --> 00:00:20,888
senior leadership at Enbridge.

16
00:00:20,954 --> 00:00:21,455
There were

17
00:00:21,522 --> 00:00:23,657
noncompliance events

18
00:00:24,057 --> 00:00:25,726
in the past few months

19
00:00:25,792 --> 00:00:26,727
and there continue to be some

20
00:00:26,793 --> 00:00:27,661
noncompliance events

21
00:00:27,728 --> 00:00:28,295
even after

22
00:00:28,362 --> 00:00:29,196
the safety standdown.

23
00:00:29,263 --> 00:00:30,230
So we're continuing to

24
00:00:30,297 --> 00:00:30,964
discuss with them

25
00:00:31,031 --> 00:00:31,798
what they can do

26
00:00:31,865 --> 00:00:33,901
to increase their compliance

27
00:00:33,967 --> 00:00:35,402
with the permits and

28
00:00:35,469 --> 00:00:36,803
reduce these frac-out events.

29
00:00:36,870 --> 00:00:37,938
How do you feel about

30
00:00:38,005 --> 00:00:39,072
the DNR's role in

31
00:00:39,139 --> 00:00:40,307
granting permits

32
00:00:40,374 --> 00:00:41,241
for this project

33
00:00:41,308 --> 00:00:43,243
in light of your current

34
00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:44,311
deep concerns?

35
00:00:44,378 --> 00:00:45,612
We have statutory authority

36
00:00:45,679 --> 00:00:47,581
to issue permits for

37
00:00:48,348 --> 00:00:49,917
things like stormwater

38
00:00:49,983 --> 00:00:51,985
waterways, wetlands

39
00:00:52,352 --> 00:00:53,587
and other things

40
00:00:53,654 --> 00:00:54,488
but those are the main ones

41
00:00:54,555 --> 00:00:55,722
for this.

42
00:00:55,789 --> 00:00:57,591
We issued those permits

43
00:00:57,658 --> 00:00:59,359
with a lot of collaboration

44
00:00:59,426 --> 00:01:00,160
and public input

45
00:01:00,227 --> 00:01:01,361
and tribal input

46
00:01:01,428 --> 00:01:03,197
over time.

47
00:01:03,263 --> 00:01:04,131
We are going to

48
00:01:04,198 --> 00:01:05,365
hold Enbridge accountable

49
00:01:05,432 --> 00:01:05,966
to the

50
00:01:06,033 --> 00:01:06,900
noncompliance events

51
00:01:06,967 --> 00:01:07,968
particularly the frac-outs

52
00:01:08,035 --> 00:01:09,336
that have been happening.

53
00:01:09,403 --> 00:01:10,571
We want to see improvements

54
00:01:10,637 --> 00:01:12,139
as construction continues

55
00:01:12,206 --> 00:01:13,874
on the pipeline.
