Enbridge finds small leak from oil pipeline into soil in northern Michigan

STERLING, Mich. - Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) says it has discovered a small leak in an oil pipeline in the northern Lower Peninsula region of Michigan.

A local television reports says damage to the pipeline was discovered Tuesday in a section near the community of Sterling, about 150 kilometres northeast of Lansing.

Calgary-based Enbridge says crews found the leak after discovering oil in the soil, adding that cleanup at the site was expected to be swift.

Enbridge was responsible for a 2010 pipeline rupture that spilled more than three million-litres of oil in southern Michigan

Cleanup efforts continue from that spill into the Kalamazoo River and Talmadge Creek from a pipeline runs from Griffith, Indiana to Sarnia, Ontario.

A U.S. federal report detailing the cause of the 2010 rupture is expected to be released this fall, about six months later than expected.
