+On May the twelfth 2025 at 4:30pm, the waste management department of the Georgia Department of Natural resources was
+contacted to inform the authorities of a suspected brown field located where the McCollum Bros Junk Yard used to stand.
+With the help of artificial intelligence, an estimate of the volume of potential toxins was calculated. The most
+surprising of which was the gallons of mercury suspected to be distributed throughout the ground.
+
+Having grown up nearly directly beside the former junkyard, has placed us in the position of being one of the few people
+in the area who knew exactly what was contained within the junkyard. Even then, our knowledge only comes from driving
+past it so often. Regardless, satellite imagery easily proves it's existance, and has lead to the conclusion of the
+salvage yard being much larger than first estimated. 
+
+Although the toxins will not lead to instantaneous death, the toxins do pose considerable health risks over time,
+especially in the laters portions of life. Every year, 400,000 people die as a result of heavy metal poisoning. Brown
+fields are not suitable for human habitation, and must be remedied by law.
