Wow earlier today I read an article about a barge in the Gulf Crashing into an old oil well causing more oil to leak into the Gulf and now this?
Seems like a pipeline in the Michigan area has leaked close to 1 Million gallons into the Kalamazoo River, making it the largest oil leak in the Midwest's history!
Not too many details are know yet but our friends at Treehugger posted the following details via Detroit News:
The oil spilled into Talmadge Creek, which flows northwest into the Kalamazoo River. The site is in Calhoun County's Marshall Township near Battle Creek and about 60 miles southeast of Grand Rapids. The pipe may have been leaking for many hours before it was originally reported to have burst Monday morning. Marshall Township fire officials responded to complaints of an oily smell from residents. More than 20 homes have been evacuated.
