Enbridge spokesperson Juli Kellner said in a statement the company is "pleased with this decision that acknowledges the thorough, inclusive and science-based review of the Line 3 replacement project."
A federal judge will allow an oil and gas pipeline to continue to flow on a northern Wisconsin American Indian reservation while its operators work to reroute the line around the tribal land.
The mixed ruling indicates the company may also be allowed to continue operating the Line 5 pipeline another five years until a new line is completed off tribal lands
The judge also said Enbridge must assuage concerns of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippeway about potential environmental harms.
The oil and gas pipeline will operate across northern Wisconsin for now.
