Enbridge offers repairs to damaged property along river

Nearly a year after Enbridge Inc.’s ruptured pipeline dumped more than 800,000 gallons of oil into the Kalamazoo River and Talmadge Creek, the company has offered to enhance and improve several spots damaged in the spill.

The Battle Creek Enquirer reports five sites would be improved to provide better access to the river and bring back recreation that has not been permitted since the spill.

The plan was presented to the Calhoun County Board of Commissioners by Michael Schroeder, director of Urban Design and Planning for Minneapolis-based LHB which is representing Enbridge.

“We think this is a great opportunity for Enbridge to contribute to the community,” Schroeder said.
