ST. PAUL-Staff from the Department of Commerce, the Public Utilities Commission and Enbridge Energy/North Dakota Pipeline Company will be hosting public comment meetings regarding the proposed Sandpiper oil pipeline which will run through Northwest Minnesota.
These public meetings will provide Minnesotans an opportunity to learn more about the proposed projects, as well as ask questions and provide input. Comment cards will also be available for people who wish to provide a written statement for public record.
The meetings are part of the process for determining what a planned Environmental Impact Statement (an environmental study) for the project should cover.
"I hope to see a large turnout at the upcoming meeting so area residents can voice their opinion on this issue," Rep. Ron Kresha, R-Little Falls, said in a release. "It's important to be involved in this process, and to share any questions or concerns you may have."
One meeting is scheduled in Little Falls on April 26 from 6-9 p.m. at the The Falls Ballroom, 15870 Minnesota 27.
