SUMMARY:Virtual Public Hearing - 4 Water Body Crossing DNR Permits
DESCRIPTION:Informational Hearing Time/Accessing:  \nThe public informational hearing is scheduled for Wednesday\, April 22\, 2026 beginning promptly at 12:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada). The hearing will be held until 3:00pm Central Time or until the last oral comments are received\, whichever occurs first. \nThe hearing will be held virtually via the Zoom Remote Conferencing Platform\, which is accessible by computer or phone. Please use the following link to access the informational hearing:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/84534209103?pwd=THCQwD41CbUjubbIXFrwJaNAoyTydH.1\nYou can also join by visiting Zoom’s website https://zoom.us/join  or calling +1 646 931 3860 (US) and entering the Meeting ID 845 3420 9103 and Passcode 811602. \nAbout the Hearing:  \nPublic Notification Download – https://permits.dnr.wi.gov/water/SitePages/DocSetPNView.aspx?DocSet=WP-IP-NO-2025-2-X11-24T14-27-22 \nThe Department has scheduled a public informational hearing for the four projects for Wednesday\, Aprill 22nd at 12pm Central Time (US and Canada). The public informational hearing will be held virtually via the Zoom Remote Conferencing Platform\, which is accessible by computer or phone. The public informational hearing provides an opportunity for you and the Department to gather additional facts to help gauge the possible environmental impacts of your proposed projects. The hearing is informational only. Department staff will manage the hearing agenda according to set procedures to allow all who attend a chance to be heard and to gather as much factual information as possible. The applicant (or applicant representative) is responsible for preparing and presenting information on the proposed projects\, as it relates to their waterway permit applications. \nThe enclosed document is a “Notice of Public Hearing” for your projects. The Department will publish the notice on our website today. The period to submit written public comments began on March 10\, 2026 (please reference your Notice of Pending Application letters) and will end 10 days after the date the public informational hearing is completed.\n“All who attend a chance to be heard and to gather as much factual information as possible.” \nBackground: One of our arguments in the contested case hearing was that Enbridge was not eligible for permits because they do not own the land at some stream crossings where they propose work\, and land ownership is a requirement. This fall Enbridge co-submitted new applications with the landowners they have easements with for the four locations in question. The public comment period on those permits is now open and it’s a good opportunity to show continued opposition.  Here’s the action page Sierra Club has set up. \n\nUnnamed Tributary to Brunsweiler River (Docket Number IP-NO-2025-2-N03672) –  WP-IP-NO-2025-2-X11-24T14-27-22\nBeartrap Creek (Docket Number IP-NO-2025-2-N03673) –  WP-IP-NO-2025-2-X11-24T14-29-11\nLittle Beartrap Creek (Docket Number IP-NO-2025-2-03679) –  WP-IP-NO-2025-2-X11-24T14-30-45\nBay City Creek (Docket Number IP-NO-2025-2-03680) –  WP-IP-NO-2025-2-X11-24T14-32-15\n\nIf you would like to know more about this project or would like to see the application and plans\, please visit the Department’s permit tracking website and search by Permit Docket Number (listed below): https://permits.dnr.wi.gov/water/SitePages/Permit%20Search.aspx \nSubmit Written Comment:\nAny person may submit written comments by emailing macaulay.haller@wisconsin.gov \, by leaving a voice message at (608) 347-0240\, or writing to Macaulay Haller\, 101 S. Webster St.\, Madison\, WI\, 53707-7921 by mail. Comments should include the docket number (listed below) or applicant name and should relate to whether the project meets the legal standards listed above. Comments must be submitted or postmarked no later than 10 days after the hearing date (May 2\, 2026).

SUMMARY:Iron County Board Meeting - Say no to cooperation between Enbridge and the Sherriff Deparment
DESCRIPTION:Cooperative Agreements with Sherriff Departments \nEnbridge is trying to establish Cooperative Agreements with the Sherriff Departments in Ashland\, Bayfield\, and Iron Counties. Ashland and Iron County both passed agreements in February. There’s an effort in Ashland to have a re-vote. Bayfield County is considering a modified version after voting no in February. There is a conflict of interest with teh Sheriff Departments serving to protect the Bad River Band and then having a cooperative agreement with Enbridge. The priority needs to be serving and building trust within our local communities\, not protecting a Canadian company.\nAshland County Board Meetings: 9am on 3/24\, 4/21\nBayfield County Board Meetings 6pm on 3/31\, 4/28\nIron County Board Meetings: 6pm on 3/31\, 4/28 \nSee attached flier and this update post for more information.
