On April 10, 2002 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency officials, learned of the Rogue River oil soil was under way for at least a day. By the time the contaminated flows had stopped, as many as 250,000 gallons of oil had spread over three miles of the Rouge River, into the Detroit River and been carried as far south as Lake Erie. The Rogue River had been the site of earlier spills resulting waterfowl mortality, which occurred in varying degrees beginning in the mid-1930s. Oil spills continued to occur, including the largest oil spill in the Great Lakes in the last 12 years that occurred in 2002.
