Aug 26 2010

It’s been nearly a month since a rupture in a pipeline operated by Enbridge dumped an estimated million gallons of Canadian tar sands crude into the Kalamazoo River system in the worst oil spill in Midwest history, and federal regulators have yet to approve a restart plan for the pipeline. The Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration, which rejected an Enbridge restart proposal earlier this month, has declined to estimate when a restart plan may be approved or how long the 190,000 barrel a day pipeline could be out of commission.
