From time to time I see activity from USA Tank Command in Warren,MI
I know in the past, people on the state and federal level have been involved
with various activities along the Shiawassee River in Oakland County
Back when large diesel cranes were doing pipeline work right on the banks
of the Shiawassee River, I had done some investigation about it all.
Pipeline work continues in many area nearby, hopefully the ecology doesn't suffer.

Response from Michigan DNRE rep, Melanie Foose:
The work that you are observing is being conducted by Enbridge and is
part of the 6B pipeline that runs from Chicago, through Kalamazoo and up
into Ontario. Several portions of this line have required repair in Oakland County.
Prior to the work, I had walked this site of proposed work for
Enbridge, as well as other sites in the county. I had some concerns
regarding the stream, the high quality wetland surrounding the stream – wetland
that interestingly enough extends up the hill from the river with a
likely groundwater seep, and also some concerns over certain rare
species. We did end up issuing a permit for the work – modified from
their original proposal. I expect that the work is close to finished or even completed by now, as they were hoping to have it done before Christmas.

LOTS of terrritory to cover and only a few people
to look after all, issue permits and such. A tough job !
