ATLANTA – The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management (DWM) completed a cleanup of illegally dumped tires along Proctor Creek last month. DWM was notified of the abandoned tires by a letter sent to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from representatives of the Proctor Creek Stewardship Council, Shaheed DuBois and Tony Torrence. The tires have the potential to pose a health risk to the community from increased mosquito breeding habitat and harboring areas for wildlife such as snakes and rodents.
