oil spill

Since Wednesday, crews have collected roughly 5,000 gallons of a petroleum-based substance along a 20 mile stretch of the river in Genesee County.

The spill of an oily substance has been traced to a pipe that runs beneath the Lockhart Chemical facility.

Several thousand gallons of an oil-based substance that hasn't been identified apparently leaked into the river upstream from the city of Flint.
