===Previous dilbit spill remediation difficulties=== One of the major concerns over [[dilbit]] is the difficulty in cleaning it up.<ref>[http://www.loe.org/shows/segments.html?programID=12-P13-00027&segmentID=1 "Kalamazoo River Spill Yields Record Fine"], ''[[Living on Earth]]'', July 6, 2012. Lisa Song, a reporter for Inside Climate News, interviewed by Bruce Gellerman. Retrieved 2013-01-01.</ref> When the aforementioned Enbridge Line 6B crude oil pipeline ruptured in Marshall, Michigan in 2010, at least 843,000 gallons of dilbit were spilled.<ref>[https://www.ntsb.gov/doclib/reports/2012/PAR1201.pdf] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140928113319/https://www.ntsb.gov/doclib/reports/2012/PAR1201.pdf|date=September 28, 2014}}</ref> After detection of the leak, [[Telescopic handler|booms]] and [[vacuum truck]]s were deployed. Heavy rains caused the river to [[overtop]] existing dams, and carried dilbit 30 miles downstream before the spill was contained. Remediation work collected over 1.1 million gallons of oil and almost 200,000 cubic yards of oil-contaminated sediment and debris from the Kalamazoo River system. However, oil was still being found in affected waters in October 2012.<ref>[http://www.epa.gov/enbridgespill/ "More Work Needed to Clean up Enbridge Oil Spill in Kalamazoo River"], US EPA, October 3, 2012.</ref>
