The Environmental Protection Agency says more dredging is needed to remove submerged oil in parts of the Kalamazoo River. The oil is from a massive spill in 2010.
It’s been two and half years since a pipeline ruptured near Marshall, spewing hundreds of thousands of gallons of crude oil that eventually fouled about forty miles of the Kalamazoo River.
BC is not the only place dealing with Enbridge's ever expanding network of pipelines.
Enbridge Inc. is seeking State Department approval for a sharp increase in its oil shipments from Canada's tar sands region to its facilities in Superior.
Enbridge wants to boost its capacity from between 450,000 and 500,000 barrels a day to 570,000 a day. In a second phase, Enbridge is seeking to ship up to 880,000 barrels daily.

Through the stories of an aboriginal high school class building their own stand-up paddleboards as a form of protest, the efforts of expedition stand-up paddler Norm Hann, and the powerful surfing of iconic west coast native Raph Bruhwiler, the diversity of people, landscape and wildlife that would be affected by an oil spill will be articulated. STAND will take you to the core of the issue and unfurl the soul of B.C.'s west coast one paddle stroke at a time.
