The lake was the states radioactive waste dump site between 1930 to 1995 and landfill between 1920 to 1999

What an awesome country, you’ve killed it faster than your ability to fully colonize and inhabit it 😂

Moment they start to dig into that mud. 75% of city's population wil die of radioactive waste exposure.

Been that way for a long time. This is not new. It's not a lake it's a natural aquafor. From when farmer Sloan was digging a well.
