The problem with this oil spill is that the river that it’s flowing into (the Kalamazoo River) flows into Lake Michigan, a body of water that provides drinking water for probably 12-15 million people on all it’s shores. Now that’s a problem.

One thing to consider is the size of the great Lakes.
Most folks don't realize their size and depth, especially the
giant lake, Lake Superior.
"The Great Lakes could cover the entire continental United States with over 9.5 feet of water."
