The accusations are flying this morning as the clean-up of the Kalamazoo River in Calhoun County isn’t going as well as some had hoped and the facts are beginning to conflict from source to source.The EPA and Enbridge say the oil has advanced 25-miles down the river, but State Police Capt. Tom Sands in the state’s emergency preparedness office says from the air, he could see oil 35 miles down.
That prompted the Governor who first slammed Enbridge for their slow response, to add the EPA to the list.
Today could be a critical one in the effort to contain the oil spill in Calhoun County. They estimate the oil is moving down the Kalamazoo River at about 8 miles a day. It should arrive at Morrow Pond today, unless the 17 containment areas now in place can manage to stop it long enough for vacuum trucks to suck it up.
