It is a by- product for them as is sodium chloride. "-• Note that the dilution in feed brines would require GSLC& M to expand their pond system by 3,200 acres. The estimated cost is $ 6.4 million but was not carried through the analysis because the land use plan for the Great Salt Lake advises other uses for the area. |
