A disputed tunnel in Michigan for an Enbridge Inc. oil pipeline is among hundreds of energy and mining projects the US Army Corps of Engineers has identified for emergency fast-track reviews after President Donald Trump’s executive order.
The list also includes permits for a Venture Global Inc. liquefied natural gas export terminal, a gas-fired power plant proposed in Texas by Entergy Corp., and a Perpetua Resources Corp. gold mine in Idaho.
