This video shows the response by local, state, and federal agencies to the rupture and spill of over 843,000 gallons of crude oil along 35 miles of the Kalamazoo River, a Lake Michigan tributary. The spill is the largest inland oil spill in the nation's history. On July 26, 2010, a 30-inch pipeline belonging to Enbridge Inc. ruptured near Marshall, Michigan and contaminated Talmadge Creek and the Kalamazoo River with hundreds of thousands of gallons of crude oil. EPA ordered Enbridge to dredge submerged oil and oil-contaminated sediment from the Kalamazoo River. From 2010 to 2014 over 1.2 million gallons of oil were recovered from the river. For details on this spill and cleanup, go to epa.gov/enbridge-spill-michigan.
