Less than a year after BP started up a new unit to process Canadian tar sands at its Whiting refinery, the company reported today that a malfunction allowed a slug of crude oil into Lake Michigan a few miles away from the Chicago city limits.
It remains unclear how much oil spilled into the lake or how long the discharge continued. Workers at the refinery reported an oil sheen on the water about 4:30 p.m. Monday, and an official from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said the leak was plugged by the time he arrived at 9 p.m.

Any damage caused nature will recover from very quickly. I remember by science teacher years ago telling me how one area hit by a huge oil spill was said be scientists and other 'experts' ruined for nature for 100+ years. Twenty years later, it had recovered virtually 100%.

The Earth is one big washing machine.
