"LANSING, Mich., May 13 (UPI) -- A Michigan environmental regulator said Wednesday it was pleased with an Enbridge settlement that focuses on restoration work from a 2010 oil spill.
Line 6b, part of a larger Enbridge pipeline network in the Midwest, ruptured near Marshall, Mich., in 2010, dumping more than 25,000 barrels of oil into the surrounding community.
More than 30 miles of the region's Kalamazoo River were soiled by the spill, making it one of the worst incidents of its kind.
Line 6b was carrying oil sands from Canadian operations at the time of the incident. That type of oil is heavier than water, causing it to sink and mix with river sediment.
Enbridge Energy and the state of Michigan filed a settlement in a county court that requires the company to monitor the environmental impacts of the spill and spend as much as $75 million in restoration and remediation work in and around the Kalamazoo River."
