(Reuters) – The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) on Thursday ordered Enbridge Inc to pay $3.32 million for failure to follow environmental laws after an investigation of its Line 3 construction activities near the company’s Clearbrook Terminal.
“Enbridge breached the confining layer of an artesian aquifer, resulting in an unauthorized groundwater appropriation during the construction of the Line 3 replacement project,” DNR said.
