DNR Leaks Pipeline Leak Details

We’re getting word of a pipeline leak in central Wisconsin that saw thousands of gallons of oil spill last month.

The Department of Natural Resources says the leak on the Enbridge Line 6 pipeline spilled 70 thousand gallons of oil in Jefferson County. The leak was discovered on November 11th, but state regulators say the oil may have been leaking for days before that. Crews immediately jumped on the clean-up. There is no word just how bad the spill damage was. Environmentalists in Wisconsin say the leak was happening at the same time that the DNR was giving Enbridge the go-ahead to reroute its Line 5 pipeline through northern Wisconsin.
