Corning, N.Y. - The process of finding out what lies under the former 
Fall Brook site on Tioga Avenue begins today.

Soil samples will be taken to determine if the site of the former glass 
manufacturing plant is contaminated. If hazardous waste is found, then 
the DEC and Corning Inc., which owns the property, will craft a plan to 
clean it up.

Sarah Horvath, a Corning Inc. spokesman, said the investigation will
