So Call the Nutter Fort and West Milford VFD. Dead horse washes ashore in woman's yard (5/25/06 - RAVENSWOOD, WV) - A dead horse has washed up in Judy Roberts' backyard, and the Jackson County woman is trying to find a way to get rid of the carcass, along with the stench. Roberts discovered the horse in the Ohio River on Friday. By Sunday, it had shifted onto her property. "Somebody needs to move it," Roberts said. "It's contaminated the water. And I shouldn't have to live like this." She can only hope help comes quicker than in Harrison County, where earlier this month a rotting cow carcass was hung up on the tree for several weeks at the West Milford Dam while various government agencies debated whose responsibility it was to remove it. The cow was hauled away last week through the combined efforts of the Division of Highways and the West Milford and Nutter Fort volunteer fire departments.

Since the Ohio River is considered "waters of the State of West Virginia" I think it is the states problem.
