There is a lot of blame to go around. Primarily the mining company activity removed the salt. What was three feet of salt is now 3/4 inch. The polititions and the BLM allowed it to happen. The Save the salt group has been fighting for twenty years. Now the salt flats are in ruins the corse is in very bad shape. Very sad.

I've read where the Wendover Potash Facility in conjunction with the BLM have pumped nearly 11 million tons of salt onto the flats from nearby ponds. If that had not been done there probably be no Bonneville today. I guess the process is ongoing. "Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got til it's gone."
