Authorities say a suspected diesel fuel spill has been found in the Kalamazoo River at Battle Creek.
The Battle Creek Enquirer reports (http://bcene.ws/ybPtTl) the spill was found Wednesday in a drainage ditch that's fed by storm sewers. Rich Beardslee, superintendent of the city's Wastewater Collection and Treatment Department, says the size of the spill wasn't known.
Officials in the southern Michigan city planned to search Thursday for the source of the spill.
Crews responding to the spill placed absorbent material across a stream between the storm sewer and the river.
Workers for Calgary, Alberta-based Enbridge Inc. assisted. They've been working to clean the river since a 2010 pipeline rupture spilled more than 800,000 gallons of oil into the Kalamazoo River and Talmadge Creek near Marshall.
