Crews safely removed an above-ground oil storage tank from Bear Creek in Manistee County this week after it became lodged in a log jam. Inside the tank was an estimated 20–30 gallons of an oil/water mix that was carefully relocated about a mile away, with no release into the waterway. 👏Thank you to local responders, @MichiganEGLE, and @eparegion5 for the safe removal and keeping our environment clean. @MichStatePolice | #manisteecounty | #BearCreek | #environmentalprotection | #cleanwater | #ProtectOurWaters | #greatlakes
