One Bell County resident says his portion of Clear Creek is no longer clear, but rather polluted, and is asking for solutions from state and local officials.
Wayne Duncanâs 300-acre property in southern Bell County includes a portion of Clear Creek which he says is murky and toxic these days, thanks, in part, to discharges from a neighboring wastewater treatment plant in Copperas Cove.

This is a strategy Nvidia aims to repeat following its acquisition of networking specialist Mellanox, coupled with some rebranding before it rounds out the portfolio with the addition of Arm and its general-purpose processor architectures.
