It is reported that AK Steel Corporation will conduct a meeting to update the community on the ongoing cleanup of Dicks Creek. The meeting will be held March 5th 2009 in the community room of the Middletown Public Library.

Under an agreement reached between AK Steel and Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, Sierra Club and the Natural Resources Defense Council, it is removing PCB contaminated sediment and soil from affected areas of the creak and prevent PCBs from reaching the creek. The work began in 2007.
