Dettmer said she was walking home when she saw the puddles and is concerned that there are chemicals within them.

“It concerns me that I saw the puddle. I don’t know if they are doing [the waste removal] the right way or the wrong way, but it concerns me that we have puddles that are colored in the city of East Palestine,” Dettmer says.

Dettmer says she plans to sell her house and move out of the village.
