In the early 1990's a group of public entities, organizations and interested citizens took steps to establish the
Delta Science at Big Break for the purposes of education, research, pubic use and outreach for Bay-Delta issues.
Thereafter, an entity known as the Delta Science Center at Big Break, also known as the Delta Environment Science
Center was formed. The members of the Delta Science Center Partners were Contra Costa County, East Bay Regional
Park District, Contra Costa County Community College District, California State University Hayward, tronhouse Sanitary
District, Delta Environment Science Center and Delta Science Center at Big Break.
In the years 2000-2002 the Delta Science Center did not obtain or acquire sufficient funding to meet its ongoing

As part of the agreed payment, the monies are to be sent to the fiscal agent, which is East Bay Regional Parks
Foundation.
