We’re finding out more about just how much the clean-up effort in the Enbridge oil spill could cost.

The Calgary-based company could end up forking out up to $400-million to cover emergency response, environmental costs, lost revenue, legal claims and pipeline repairs.

The estimates don’t include an additional 35 to 45 million dollars the company could end up paying in fines.

The effort to clean up Michigan’s Kalamazoo river is continuing after a pipeline burst, leaking nearly four million litres of oil into the water.
