What is the condition of the oil pipeline in the Straits of Mackinac? Answer can be hard to find

What is the condition of the oil pipeline in the Straits of Mackinac? Answer can be hard to find. 

By Mark Brush, MI Public Radio (Oct 7, 2014) – “Carl Weimer is with the National Pipeline Safety Trust, a pipeline watchdog group. I asked him what seems like the obvious question about this pipeline: ‘How can a 60-year-old line be in excellent condition?’ ‘We’ve see older pipelines that have been operated and maintained well that look almost like new pipelines,’ he said. ‘… and on the other hand we’ve seen new pipelines that look like they’re 80-years-old, or are in bad shape. So it really depends on how the company has been operating and maintaining it. And that’s a really hard thing to find out.’”
