Largest Tar Sands Pipeline into US Shut Down after Spilling Nearly 60,000 Gallons of Oil

Earlier this month, Enbridge agreed to pay a $6.75 million settlement over a July 2010 spill, which resulted in more than 800,000 gallons of Canadian tar sands crude oil spilled into the Kalamazoo River in Michigan. Enbridge estimated that, aside from the settlement, cleanup costs for that spill alone were about $1.2 billion.
