Update On West Michigan Oil Spill – Evacuation in Progress

     About 50 families (residents) living in Calhoun County near or in the city

limits of Marshall and town of Galesburg are being asked to voluntarily evacuate,

because the oil fumes (Oil and Benzene vapors) from the oil pipeline spill are

carcinogenic and so would be harmful to breathe.

        The good news is that about 1/2 of the oil (about 450,000 gallons) has so far

been collected along Tallmade Creek and the Kalamazoo River.   Authorities are

promising that the spill will be cleaned-up to pre-existing conditions.   Currently

Enbridge, the company responsible, is using oil skimmers, vacume trucks, and

absorbent booms to help correct the environmental disaster.   The oil thus far

has killed lots of fish and has caked geese along the Kalamazoo River besides

threatening Morrow Lake and Lake Michigan.   Families displaced will be put

up in motels within the area.   It is unknown how long this displacement will

be.  Water Wells are also at risk, so people are also being advised not to drink

the water.   

     The sad part of this oil spill is that it could have been prevented.  The U.S. Depart.

of Transportation’s Pipeline had warned the company back in January  that they

 were not properly protecting or monitorring the corrision in the pipe.
