BP Oil Spill in Lake Michigan
BP crews on Thursday more than doubled their earlier maximum estimate of how much oil spilled into Lake Michigan when a refinery malfunction occurred in Indiana this week. Company representatives now estimate between 630 and 1,638 gallons of oil has been recovered since the spill at BP’s Whiting Refinery on Monday, March 24. It was estimated Wednesday that between 377 and 755 gallons of crude oil had spilled. BP said the initial numbers were based off visual observation.
