Friends were in Wendover a week ago and reported the salt was under water
when they drove to the end of the access road. Cris Shearer would know
better than anyone. There have been problems with the "fresh" water supply
getting to the pond they want to draw the brine from and with the way the
salt dissolves in that pond. They shut down when the specific gravity drops
below an acceptable level.
The restoration project target level to pump is a million and a half tons a
year.
It sounds like we will be lucky if they get a million tons pumped this year.
That could mean a VERY small change in the salt surface over last year when
you factor in the amount they take off the racing surface in their mining
operations. Usually that is three-quarters of a million tons from what I
have been able to find out.
We'll have a better idea around the end of June to early July.
