I-Enbridge ivuza iilitha ezili-10,000 zolwelo lokomba lwe-line 3

INorthern Minn Kwingxelo entsha ekhutshwe yiMPCA, iarhente ichaza ukuvuza phakathi kwe-8 kaJuni, 2021 kunye ne-5 ka-Agasti ka-2021.
Kwileta eyabangela ukuba kwenziwe le ngxelo, abenzi bomthetho abangama-32 be-MN bafuna ukuba i-MPCA “irhoxise okwethutyana isiqinisekiso seCandelo lama-401 kwaye yayalela u-Enbridge ukuba ayeke ngoko nangoko ukugrumba ngakuMzila wesi-3 de urhulumente angabi sahlangabezana neemeko zembalela.Uphando olunzulu lunokwenziwa yi-arhente yakho.”
Imbalela eqatha kunye namaqondo obushushu aphezulu afunyenwe kulo lonke elaseMinnesota achaphazele amandla eendlela zamanzi, iindawo ezimanzi, kunye nemigxobhozo yokuhlambulula ngokufanelekileyo imichiza eyingozi kunye nentlenga egqithisileyo.Imbalela nayo ibangela ukuba imijelo ibe ngumphunga ngokukhawuleza kwaye inokubangela ukunqongophala kwamanzi acocekileyo ukunceda ukucoca iindawo ezivuzayo kunye nokukhupha.”
Ingxelo irekhoda ukwakheka kolwelo lokomba kwindawo nganye evuzayo.Ukongeza kumanzi kunye ne-Barakade bentonite (umxube wodongwe kunye neeminerali), ezinye iisayithi nazo zisebenzisa inhlanganisela yezisombululo zeekhemikhali ezizimeleyo, ezifana ne-Power Soda Ash, i-Sandmaster, i-EZ Mud Gold, kunye ne-Power Pac- L.
Kwingxelo yabo, iMPCA ayikhange iphendule kwisicelo somthetho sokunqunyanyiswa kweziqinisekiso, kodwa uMkomishinala weMPCA uPeter Tester ubhale isandulela.Ungqinisise ukuba ukuvuza kolwelo lokugrumba kwaphula isiqinisekiso: “Ndifuna ukucaca ukuba isiqinisekiso somgangatho wamanzi weMPCA’s 401 asikugunyazisi ukukhutshelwa kolwelo lokomba kuwo nawuphi na umhlaba omanzi, umlambo okanye amanye amanzi angaphezulu.”
I-MPCA ivunywe ngokusesikweni iSiqendu se-401 sesiqinisekiso soMthetho waManzi acocekileyo ngoNovemba 12, 2020, kwaye yafaka ityala kwangolo suku lunye ukuba ifake ngokuchasene nezigqibo zeChippewa Red Lake Zone, i-Ojibwe White Clay Zone kunye ne-Aboriginal kunye ne-Indigenous Peoples isibheno.Imibutho yezendalo.Ngaphezu konyaka kamva, ngoFebruwari 2, 2021, iNkundla Yezibheno yaseMinnesota yasikhaba eso sibheno.
Umzabalazo oqhubekayo enkundleni wokuthintela ulwakhiwo uhamba kunye nemisebenzi yasendle.KwiNkampu yeSivumelwano saseRed Lake, yenye yeendawo ezininzi ezixhathisayo zeLine 3 kumantla eMinnesota, abalondolozi bamanzi bahlasela iRed Lake River Drilling, eyaqala kamsinya emva kokufika kwesi siza ngoJulayi 20, 2021.
Kuyo yonke inkqubo yokugrumba, abalindi bamanzi abavela kwezinye iindawo ezixhathisayo kwi-3rd Line nabo bajoyina amadabi asendle, kubandakanywa ukusetyenziswa okokuqala kwezixhobo zekhemikhali kunye neembumbulu zerabha ngokuchasene noonogada bamanzi kwi-3rd Line Resistance Movement ngoJulayi 29.
Ividiyo yethu engezantsi ibonisa ezinye izigcawu ezinikezelwe nguGiniw Collective ngoJulayi 29th, kubandakanywa udliwano-ndlebe noSasha Beaulieu, umlindi wemithombo yenkcubeko yeRed Lake Tribe, kunye noRoy Walks Through Hail, umkhuseli wamanzi kwiNkampu yeSivumelwano saseRed Lake.(Uthethwano lomxholo wevidiyo: ubundlobongela bamapolisa.)
USasha Beaulieu, umlindi wemithombo yenkcubeko yeRed Lake Tribe, ulandelela umgangatho wamanzi kwaye uhlawule ingqwalasela enkulu kuyo nayiphi na ingcoliseko yamanzi ngokwamalungelo akhe asemthethweni, kodwa u-Enbridge, iikontraki zabo okanye ii-arhente zokunyanzeliswa komthetho abazange bamvumele ukuba angene kwindawo yokwakha. kunye nokugrumba kujongwa ngokufanelekileyo.NgokoMthetho woKhuseleko lweMbali yeSizwe, abaphathi bezizwe kufuneka babe nako ukongamela izakhiwo ukukhusela iindawo zakudala.
Kwiwebhusayithi yabo, u-Enbridge wavuma ukuba abaphathi bezizwe "banelungelo lokumisa ukwakhiwa kunye nokuqinisekisa ukuba izibonelelo zenkcubeko ezibalulekileyo zikhuselwe", kodwa uBeaulieu unqatshelwe ukwenza oko.
Ngomhla wesi-3 ku-Agasti, abasebenzi bokhuselo lwamanzi beNkampu yeSivumelwano sase-Red Lake bathatha inxaxheba kumsitho owawuza kugqitywa ukomba.Isenzo esithe ngqo senzeke ngobo busuku, kwaye abakhuseli bamanzi baqhubeka behlanganisana kufuphi nendawo yokomba ngosuku olulandelayo.Kwabanjwa abantu abalishumi elinesithoba.Emva kwemini ngo-Agasti 4, i-Honghu River Ferry yagqitywa.
U-Enbridge uchaze ukuba sele egqibile ukugrumba indawo yokuwela umlambo kwaye ulwakhiwo lombhobho omtsha wesanti we-Line 3 wetha kugqitywe ngama-80%.Nangona kunjalo, umkhuseli wamanzi akazange abaleke kumadabi asenkundleni okanye amadabi emhlabeni.(Ilizwe laseBaitu lifake isimangalo egameni leWild Rice ngo-Agasti 5, 2021; eli lityala lesibini “lamalungelo endalo” eli lizwe.)
“Amanzi bubomi.Yiyo le nto silapha.Yiyo le nto silapha.Asisenzeli thina sodwa, koko sikwangabantwana bethu nabazukulwana, kwanabo bangaqondiyo, singabo.”
