(Reuters) – A U.S. judge has ordered Canadian energy company Enbridge (NYSE:) to shutter portions of an oil pipeline that runs through tribal land in Wisconsin within three years and to pay the tribe nearly $5.2 million for trespassing plus a portion of its profits until the shutdown is completed.<\/p>\n

U.S. District Judge William Conley issued the order on Friday in Madison. The judge’s action came just over a month after the Bad River Band told him an immediate shutdown was needed following heavy spring rains that eroded a riverbank protecting the pipe. The pipeline carries 540,000 barrels of oil per day from Canada through the Great Lakes region.<\/p>\n

An Enbridge spokesperson said on Saturday the company plans to appeal the judge’s order.<\/p>\n

In the ruling, Conley said a sudden shutdown could lead to oil shortages and price hikes in the United States, adding that “given the environmental risks, the court will order Enbridge to adopt a more conservative shutdown and purge plan.”<\/p>\n

Enbridge said in court filings ahead of the judge’s action that a hasty shutdown of the pipeline was unnecessary and would cause “extreme market turmoil.” The company has proposed re-routing the pipeline around the tribal reservation, but has not received federal approvals to do so.<\/p>\n

Representatives for the tribe did not immediately respond to a request for comment. <\/p>\n

The tribe has said a breach in the pipeline along the 12-mile (19 km) segment that runs through the reservation could pollute important fishing waters, wild rice habitat and potentially underground aquifers.<\/p>\n

The tribe sued Enbridge in 2019, arguing that riverbank erosion threatened a “looming disaster” that warranted removal of the pipeline and saying that the company no longer had a legal right to operate on the property after pipeline easements allowing it to use the land expired in 2013.<\/p>\n

Conley ruled last year that the pipeline was trespassing on the land but stopped short of ordering a shutdown due to public and foreign policy concerns. The judge in November said significant erosion that could cause a rupture was unlikely, but told the parties to develop a shutdown plan anyway. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
