Federal, state, and local officials say they’ll have something to say about the status of the Kalamazoo River oil spill clean-up Thursday morning.
Representatives of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Calhoun County Public Health Department, the Michigan departments of Environmental Quality and Community Health, and Kalamazoo County officials are among those who’ll brief reporters on the issue. The event will also include officials from Enbridge Energy, the Canadian company that owns the oil pipeline that ruptured in the summer of 2010, spilling at least 800,000 gallons of crude oil into the river.
