“Mineral extraction companies are not taking as much [water] as they can take,' said an official from one company at the GreatSaltLake company. “They’re taking the minimum they can take to stay in business.”
“I’m hoping the lake will not go down to 4,185,” Tripp said. “We will have some experiences no one wants to have.”
“If you get to an elevation like that, the lake will saturate and you’ll collapse the food chain,” Tripp said. “Salt falls out of the water and accumulates on the bottom. And that will take everything with it.” One need only look to the Great Salt Lake’s north arm, which is cut off from freshwater sources due to a railroad causeway, to see the impacts of spiked salinity. That section of the lake has been at saturation for years.US Magnesium’s application calls for lengthening a 1.1-mile canal, called P-N, another 0.7 miles and a second 2.6-mile canal, called P-0, another 3 miles. The project would dredge about 127 acres of lakebed.
