A reassessment team examines a section of shoreline on the Kalamazoo River.Erosion control fencing remains along Talmadge Creek while new vegetation takes root.Islands are monitored for the appearance of sheen during daily flights.Reassessment teams check an island in the Kalamazoo and ensure boom remains in place.
Our reassessment effort of all potentially affected portions of Talmadge Creek, the Kalamazoo River and overbank areas is also winding down, and we have begun oil removal based on results of this data. The reassessment has been conducted under the direction of the U.S. EPA and the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). These results, along with other data, will be used to guide future cleanup/remediation efforts as well as aid local health officials in determining when the river may reopen for recreational use.
