So about three days ago we had a pipeline break a few miles up river from Battle Creek on the Kalamazooo river. This river holds alot of fish species including walleye,sturgen,LMB,SMB,Steelhead, huge catfish and salmon from the Great Lakes...Clean up effort has been dismal at best. The river was one of my favorite fisheries( one block behind my house)but now fish/birds are dieing very quickly. Huge oil slicks from Ceresco Dam(where the spill occured) is flowing down river and may reach Alegan dam very quickly, killing off miles upon miles of aquatic life/birds...There are also breeding pairs of Bald eagles on this river who are very much in danger from the oil coated dead fish they may consume...What a nightmare!!!
