BATTLE CREEK (WKZO-AM) — Landscaping is usually the last thing that gets done on most major projects, whether it’s building a home, a highway or apparently a $1 billion river cleanup.
Enbridge Pipeline will be working with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to return the banks of the Kalamazoo River to a more natural state, adding logs, root clumps and planting new trees along a stretch of the river in Battle Creek.
The pipeline firm responsible for the 2010 oil spill that devastated the river, will be setting up a staging area at Jackson Street and Stringham Road to keep equipment and supplies.
Weather permitting, the project should be completed by late September.
