The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection is compiling an inventory of tire piles across the state.
To accomplish this the DEP is looking for help from the people who know the land best-landowners and community leaders who know where the dumps lie.
"Tire piles are hidden throughout the hills and hollows of the state," said Stephanie Timmermeyer, DEP Cabinet Secretary. "In order to get an accurate inventory of tires that need cleaned up, we really need to enlist the help of state citizens."
Residents who want to provide location information can either call the toll-free number (800) 322-5530, or online at www.wvdep.org/reportadump.
Reports can be made anonymously. At a minimum, reports should include the county in which the tire pile is located, latitude and longitude, if available, and
directions to the site.
