Montgomery County Sheriff's Office environmental crimes enforcement officer Deputy Victoria Dingee helped to start cleanup of a 20 acre site on Soldiers Home-West Carrollton Rd. that contains nearly 80,000 tires, auto parts and about 100 barrels of dye near the banks of Opossum Creek. Metal scrappers have been burning the tires off the rims, leaving the tire waste to seep into the creek. The Ohio and U.S. EPA offices are to begin cleanup on April 22. TY GREENLEES / STAFF
