MACKINAW CITY, Mich. - An energy company sees no reason to remove a narrow 270-foot (82.3 metre) rod from the Straits of Mackinac in northern Michigan, telling regulators that it poses no risk to the Great Lakes while embedded in the lake bottom. Enbridge Inc. also used the letter to try to clear up any confusion about the length of the rod. The rod became stuck in September when it was used to fill a hole with grout. “At this time there is no segment of the rod that protrudes above the lakebed,” Turner wrote. The Straits connect lakes Michigan and Huron.
