See Morton, for example. GSLC& M has a ponding system designed for production of potassium sulfate and produces sodium chloride as a by- product. N. L.- Mg. does not produce salt from this pond system. For this analysis both were treated as salt producers with adjustable acreage of concentrator to crystalized ponds. GSLC& M estimates their present salt capacity at five million tons . |
