If you are following oil spill news around the country, you know that a 30-inch pipeline owned by Enbridge, Inc., ruptured in Marshall, Michigan, releasing hundreds of thousands of gallons of crude oil into Talmadge Creek, a waterway that feeds into the Kalamazoo River (as reported by U.S. EPA and others). The Detroit Free Press is reporting that Enbridge is working proactively to alleviate neighbor concerns: "Enbridge Inc. offered to buy up to 200 homes in the 30-mile-long zone at their full-list price or appraised value before the spill to ease homeowners’ concerns."
