An Enbridge Energy pipeline in Jefferson County spilled nearly 70,000 gallons of crude oil underground, according to federal officials.
The spill is Enbridge’s worst in Wisconsin, surpassingĀ a 2012 incident that spilled 50,000 gallons in Adams County.
A petroleum pipeline spill was first detected Nov. 11 in the town of Oakland during a routine inspection by an Enbridge technician, according to a recent accident report from the U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. Read more.
