OIL SPILL STANDOFF: Agencies clash, send quest for justice up creek
Two years after the largest oil spill in modern Great Lakes history, investigators are at odds over crucial facts, creating a stalemate that has stuck taxpayers with a $10 million-plus bill, an unpunished polluter and the possibility that a spill that size could happen again.
The April 2002 spill spread an estimated 255,000-gallon mixture of lube oil and diesel fuel in the Rouge River. From there, it floated downstream into the Detroit River and Lake Erie.
