More than 3,000 illegally dumped tires have been pulled from the Schuylkill during dredging

The U.S. Army Corps said tires have been pulled "throughout multiple areas" along the Schuylkill National Race Course and has prevented dredging from continuing as planned.

Some of the more than 3,000 tires that have been pulled out of the Schuylkill in Philadelphia as part of a dredge of the racecourse for rowers. This pile was started just downriver of the Columbia Bridge.
