Small Enbridge oil leak in east Mich.

Damaged pipe caused small leak

STERLING, Mich. (WOOD) - A damaged pipe has caused another Enbridge oil incident in Michigan.

A leak was found near Sterling in a pipeline that runs north through the eastern part of the state to the Upper Peninsula.

An Enbridge Energy spokesperson said that crews found the leak after discovering oil contamination in the soil on Tuesday.

Enbridge is the same company responsible for the massive oil spill in Marshall in the summer of 2010 that dumped tons of oil into Tallmadge Creek, which runs into the Kalamazoo River. Crews are still in West Michigan cleaning up that spill.

The most recent Sterling spill is much smaller, Enbridge said, and is expected to be cleaned up by Wednesday night.
