iN THE MID 1900’S, BRYAN, TX WAS AFFECTED BY A PLANT THAT WAS DUMPING TOXIC WASTE INTO WHAT IS

NOW KNOWN AS BRYAN MUNICIPAL LAKE. FOR MY PROJECT, I DID A STUDY ON THE AFTERMATH THE TOXIC

WASTE CAUSED, AND WHAT COULD BE DONE TO CLEAN IT UP. IN ADDIDION TO CLEANING THE LAKE, I

WANTED TO GIVE BRYAN MORE ENTERTAINMENT AND ACTIVITY. ALL WHILE EDUCATING THE POPULATION
ON WHAT HAPPENED AND HOW WE ARE MAKING IT BETTER.
