The CEO of Enbridge Inc. says an updated environmental review released by a Minnesota state agency on Monday is a "good outcome'' but declined to speculate on when its oft-delayed Line 3 pipeline replacement project will be completed.

An updated environmental review released by a state agency in the U.S. on Monday found no serious threat to Lake Superior if crude oil ever leaked from a new pipeline to replace Enbridge's aging Line 3 across northern Minnesota.

Dozens of people rallied outside a Minnesota office of Enbridge to protest the company's proposed Line 3 oil pipeline replacement.

The court said project's environmental impact statement doesn't address the possibility of an oil spill into the Lake Superior watershed.

Besides clearing the legal challenges, Calgary-based Enbridge also needs state and federal permits, which the company hopes to secure around end of the year.

Minnesota Public Radio News reports that it marks the second consecutive year Enbridge has outspent all other lobbyists in the state.

The CEO of MEG Energy Corp. says a one-year delay in Enbridge Inc.'s Line 3 pipeline replacement project makes it highly unlikely it will approve an option to spend about $75 million to complete an expansion of its Christina Lake oilsands project in northern Alberta.

Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton's administration on Friday appealed a state regulatory panel's approval of Enbridge's plan to replace its aging Line 3 oil pipeline across northern Minnesota.

Opponents of Enbridge's plan to replace its aging Line 3 crude oil pipeline across northern Minnesota filed appeals Wednesday to challenge the state Public Utilities Commission's approval of the project.

Minnesota regulators reaffirmed their support Monday for Enbridge's proposal to replace its aging Line 3 crude oil pipeline across the northern part of the state, while dozens of protesters walked out of the overflow hearing to make a point about climate change.
