Sierra Club Responds to Enbridge’s Line 6 Pipeline Spilling 70,000 Gallons of Oil in Wisconsin

Oakland, WISCONSIN – Approximately 70,000 gallons of oil have spilled from Enbridge’s Line 6 pipeline. The oil has spilled into the ground in Jefferson County, Wisconsin.

In response, Elizabeth Ward, Sierra Club – Wisconsin Director released the following statement:

“Enbridge’s unacceptable track record persists. The communities in Jefferson County deserve a thorough accounting and comprehensive cleanup.

“Last week, we filed a lawsuit on Line 5 precisely because we know oil spills like this can and will happen. Wisconsinites should not have to live with these risks while Enbridge lines their pockets.”
