"While Enbridge offers an optimistic “worst case” scenario for a Mackinac pipeline breach to be isolated and stopped in a neck-snappingly-impossible eight minutes (yes, that’s their projection) – even that would dump 1.5 million gallons in the Great Lakes.

Wilderness State Park by six hours, and Cheboygan, Charlevoix, Rogers City and Beaver Island shortly thereafter — and that’s with their rosy eight minute response prediction." (D-T)
