I wanted to correct some misinformation in the forum about tires. First of all, they are an eyesore and any disposal of tires in the lake would be littering. It is possible that a portion of the tires may have gotten there as a result of past practices (i.e., used for bumpers on docks, etc.).

As for the potential to leach chemicals that is incorrect. I have significant experience assessing soild and hazardous waste landfills (municipal and industrial) and have worked on facilities where tires were manufactured and disposed. Tires are composed overwhelmingly of carbon, a natural substance. They contain trace amounts of metals and other substances but are for the most part inert.

Tires have and continue to be used in many applications such as creating artificial reefs, ground up and used to make playground padding and walkways, etc, Simply put, they are an eyesore and they should not be liiegally disposed in the lake, but posts that talk about chemical dangers are incorrect.
