Attached are several documents associated with a public comment period that ended today on the expansion of the Great Salt Lake Minerals evaporation ponds. This was a resonse drafted by Friends of The Great Salt Lake (FOGSL) in regards to the potential impacts on the lake as a whole. Where it could have a substantial impact on lake levels if allowed it will have significant impacts on the all recreation that occurs out of the GSL Marina. I encourage you to view this information. If you would like more information, or if you would like to find out how to get involved with this, I would encourage you to visit the FOGSL website at fogsl.org. If you wish to get involved in the public comment, there is a deadline of this coming Thursday. You may contact Lynn de Freitas at ldefreitas@earthlink.net for more information.
