Remember the old doctor show, from the 60s?  Isn't that the name of the physician?

While the BLM acknowledged last summer that the salt crust was extremely thin or absent entirely from some areas of the salt flats, the agency's scientists have struggled to explain the crust's change and variability. The BLM has tapped the U. to study the salt flats, hoping to understand whether the crust's decline is the result of human activity or some complex but entirely natural cycle, as others have suggested.

So the BLM scientists don't know where the salt went? After 100 years of mining the salt from Bonneville they commissioned a study to figure if that has an effect? Maybe someone at that meeting can tell them so they can save some time and money on a study.

Ahem,
  "The engineering plan has been delivered to Utah Alliance members Tom Burkland, Larry Volk and Dennis Sullivan who are now reviewing it."

Will the rest of us ever get to see it?

Now I have a Tom Cruise line from Jerry Maguire stuck in my head.  "Help me help you."  Anyone remember the scene?
Beautiful sentiment and a great ad campaign, but was any headway made in the meeting, or was it another "good will" meeting for everyone, locked in a stalemate?

The Bingham Report is contained within the Position Paper.

Interested Parties are encouraged to download the documents and read the civil engineer's recommendation to the BLM.

The Bingham Report

[Interested Observer]

Louise,
Maybe it's just me, but I can't get the Position Paper to download.  Have others been able to do it?

[donpearsall]

I can't see anything to download on the position paper page. Nothing called The Bingham Report in the documents page either.
Louise, can you just give a direct link to this download?

All I can see is the opening statement, the link to the paper is broken.

[Stan Back]

Maybe it's gonna scroll in cutesy from the right.

We had a Large Family Party a while back. A family member from Kansas was looking at some of my Bonneville Pictures on the wall and he says to me, I've hauled a lot of salt out of Wendover to Kansas for ice control on roads.

I saw and read a few pages on the Bingham engr report. It is 105 pages long. A lot of data and history of the salt and the current conditions. I don't have a copy. The report is awesome and the BLM just don't understand it or does the girl that really is on the side of BLM. I saw her babble on the TV news it was a poor presentation. Wish us a lot of luck.
