MARSHALL, Mich. (AP) - A pipeline company responsible for last year's more than 800,000-gallon oil spill that contaminated the Kalamazoo River has submitted a new cleanup plan.
Calgary, Alberta-based Enbridge Inc. on Thursday delivered the plan to deal with oil that still sits in the river to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Enbridge spokesman Jason Manshum said he couldn't discuss the plan until the EPA has a chance to review it.
The EPA has said the cleanup of submerged oil is expected to last through 2012.
The spill was discovered July 26, 2010 and polluted the Kalamazoo River system in the Marshall area, from Talmadge Creek to Morrow Lake.
The pipeline runs from Griffith, Ind., to Sarnia, Ontario.
