A pipeline company is asking state and federal regulators for permission to build an oil pipeline beneath North Dakota's Lake Sakakawea.
Enbridge Inc. says in regulatory filings that the pipeline would carry up to 60,000 barrels of oil daily.
Enbridge wants to start operating the line by the end of next year. It will cost $136 million to build.
The company wants North Dakota's Public Service Commission to review a proposed route for the line.
It would be 12 inches in diameter. It would run for 36 miles north from Johnson's Corner, east of Watford City in McKenzie County, to Enbridge's Beaver Lodge station southeast of Tioga.
The federal Bureau of Land Management is taking comment on the project. Some of the proposed route goes across federal land.
