LANSING The state of Michigan announced on March 12, 2021, the MI Propane Security Plan, a multiagency effort with the Michigan Public Service Commission; the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy; the Michigan Department of Transportation, and the Department of Technology, Management and Budget. The propane security plan is focused on ensuring that Michigan’s propane needs are met when Enbridge’s Line 5 oil pipelines, that run through the Great Lakes, are shut down.
In November 2020, Gov.

Additionally, the governor and the DNR also revoked the easement under the governor’s public trust responsibilities.
