“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.
This is what one might call a Conflict of Interest
They better DO MORE and DO MORE NOW!
What choice do they have? It’s not like they can just STOP causing harm for profit. And when the toxic dust storms kick up and Salt Lake City is unlivable, we’ll say, “that’s just the cost of doing business”
