A very well written paper with accurate conclusions and good remedies to the situation.
Reading the reports from the meeting that took place it seems that it is repeatedly brought up that it is not fully understood where the salt has gone to yet the BLM has acknowledged that Intrepid needs to at least return an equivalent amount of salt to the BSF as they removed during the year. That is clearly spelled out in BLM papers that I have posted links to. This clearly shows that the BLM does know why the salt surface, crust, has diminished over the years, the mining company is taking it. They are admitting it themselves in those papers. There is no reason for years more of studies when the primary cause of diminished salt is the mining as they have pointed out in their own papers,
