Congressman Fred Upton (R-St. Joseph) is advising area residents with concerns, reports of damage, questions, and recommendations related to the Kalamazoo River oil spill and cleanup effort to contact the Enbridge toll-free hotline at 1-800-306-6837.  Emergencies should still be referred to the appropriate emergency response entity.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set up a incident response website at http://www.epa.gov/enbridgespill, which will be available by this evening.  Enbridge has also set up its own response website at http://response.enbridgeus.com.

Upton, who is a senior member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, remains constantly engaged in the ongoing cleanup effort and pledges to hold an oversight hearing to monitor cleanup efforts by the EPA and health hazards posed by the oil spill.
