DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Modification of Consent Decree Under
the Clean Water Act and Oil Pollution
Act
On May 7, 2020, the Department of
Justice lodged with the United States
District Court for the Western District of
Michigan a proposed Fifth Modification
of Consent Decree in the lawsuit
entitled United States v. Enbridge
Energy, Limited Partnership, et al., Civil
Action No. 1:16–cv–914.
On May 23, 2017, the United States
District Court for the Western District of
Michigan approved and entered a
Consent Decree that resolved specified
claims asserted by the United States
against Enbridge Energy, Limited
Partnership and eight affiliated entities
(‘‘Enbridge’’) under the Clean Water Act
and Oil Pollution Act arising from two
separate 2010 oil spills resulting from
failures of Enbridge oil transmission
pipelines near Marshall, Michigan and
Romeoville, Illinois. The complaint
filed by the United States alleged that
Enbridge’s pipelines had unlawfully
discharged oil into waters of the United
States and sought civil penalties,
recovery of removal costs, and
injunctive relief. The Consent Decree
established various requirements
applicable to a network of 14 pipelines
that comprise Enbridge’s Lakehead

System—including requirements
governing excavation, repair or
mitigation, and imposition of interim
pressure restrictions for various
features, such as dents, corrosion and
cracks, that are detected through In-Line
Inspections (‘‘ILI’’) of such pipelines.
The proposed Fifth Modification of
Consent Decree (‘‘Modification’’) revises
several different provisions of the
Consent Decree. A major focus of the
proposed Modification is to clarify and
revise requirements applicable to one
specific type of feature detected on
Lakehead System pipelines—dent
features that intersect or interact with
corrosion features (‘‘dent/corrosion
features’’). The Modification clarifies
that Enbridge must identify all dent
features, regardless of the dent depth,
and determine whether detected dent
features intersect with corrosion
features. The Modification establishes
requirements for evaluation of dent/
corrosion features applying new
analytical techniques that would be
used to determine whether such features
require excavation, repair or mitigation,
or interim pressure restrictions. In
addition to requiring use of the new
methodologies going forward, the
Modification includes requirements for
re-examining certain previously
collected ILI data to identify shallow
dent features that Enbridge had not
evaluated in the period prior to March
31, 2019, as well as requirements to
apply the new analytical methodologies
to any additional dent/corrosion
features identified based on the reexamination of old data.
In addition to revisions that support
new requirements governing the
evaluation of dent/corrosion features,
the proposed Modification revises the
definition of Established Maximum
Operating Pressure (‘‘MOP’’) to
incorporate revised MOP values for
Enbridge’s Line 61. The revised MOP
values reflect corrected information on
pipe wall thickness obtained during a
data quality review of Enbridge’s
pipeline information. The proposed
Modification also revises and clarifies
provisions of the Consent Decree
relating to Priority Feature notifications.
In the proposed revision of Appendix A,
features referred to as ‘‘ovalities’’ would
be subject to a separate Priority Feature
notification criterion from the criterion
applicable to other geometric features.
Finally, the proposed Modification
would revise Table 4 of the Consent
Decree to clarify that a dig selection
criterion applicable to dents on portions
of Line 61 is intended to apply only to
dents with depths greater than a
specified depth.

Notice of Lodging of Proposed Modification of Consent Decree
Under the Clean Water Act and Oil Pollution Act
On May 7, 2020, the Department of Justice lodged with the United
States District Court for the Western District of Michigan a proposed
Fifth Modification of Consent Decree in the lawsuit entitled United
States v. Enbridge Energy, Limited Partnership, et al., Civil Action
No. 1:16-cv-914.
