Oil Spill closes Lake Huron beach in Michigan

Oil arrived on the beach on Lake Huron, Michigan. Oil has spread on a 250 yard stretch across the beach and is still being cleaned. The spill worries citizens because of the endangerment of local animals such as the black tern, pitcher's thistle, and the dwarf lake iris. Also, the chance of spread is a major concern. The spill comes from a pipeline break from July that spilled almost 1 million gallons into the Kalamazoo River. The Kalamazoo River is a major tributary to Lake Michagan.
