Minnesota approves pipeline permit

It is reported that Minnesota Public Utilities Commission has granted a permit for Minnesota Steel's natural gas pipeline, which has been named the Blackberry Pipeline. The commission also approved the final route, with two minor modifications.

The Nashwauk Public Utilities Commission is proposing to build and operate the 24 inch pipeline, which will run from Blackberry Township, to Taconite and then to Nashwauk. Its purpose is to provide fuel to the massive mining through steelmaking project in Nashwauk.
