EPA: Enbridge missed dredging deadline
January 9, 2014
COMSTOCK TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) - As expected, Enbridge has failed to meet an end-of-year deadline to complete dredging operations to clean up oil contamination in Kalamazoo County, a federal agency says.
COMSTOCK TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) - As expected, Enbridge has failed to meet an end-of-year deadline to complete dredging operations to clean up oil contamination in Kalamazoo County, a federal agency says.
When an Enbridge pipeline broke in summer 2010, it spilled more than 800,000 gallons of oil in to the Kalamazoo River and its tributaries. Since then, the Calgary, Alberta-based company has been working to clean up the mess.
In a statement, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said that Enbridge finished operations at two of the three areas it was ordered to dredge by Dec. 31, 2013. But it didn't finish everything.
