the Bureau of Land Management acknowledges a seven percent decrease of the crust package over the last decade and a half
One problem we have is Brenda and the BLM look at the whole "crust package" which includes the salt that has also migrated down feet into the mud. This makes loosing the surface salt that we need not look so bad percentage wise. What a bunch of B.S..
?I would say leave it alone for a few years,? said Bowen. ?Don?t come out here. Don?t drive on it when it?s wet; give it a minute and let?s see where it gets to. I mean, it?s not a racetrack in a warehouse. It?s not an indoor environment. It?s nature and it needs to replenish.?
It took thousands of years for the salt to be deposited there as water carried the salt from the mountains to the depression that is the salt flats. A couple years might add a couple thousands of an inch from that source. It is a closed basin with no outlet except the one to Intrepid.
I'm wondering if she has a degree in anything. I can't see how she can call herself a 'scientist'

Sumner, et all,
It appears that the "science" at issue here, is merely the "science" to "justify" continued allowance of mining among the "multi-uses" of a national monument. This defies common sense, insofar as mining is "extractive" and incompatible with the idea of "multi-use". In the concept of multi-use, the resource is "shared" among all users. I fail to grasp any situation in which extraction, in HUGE volumes, is remotely compatible with other usages. Since the resource is not "infinite", as we are now seeing, extraction, at some point, removes most of what has value. That's the way mining works.
She may have a "Science degree", but her functioning here defies credulity. Her report merely gives lip service to "repair" of the Salt Flats, while allowing the BLM and the mining interests to continue to either "mismanage" or "extract" a finite resource. As the ancients observed, "One can only serve one master." Some choices need to be made . . . . . . .
No significant change to the Salt Flats will occur until the mining of the National Monument is terminated, and procedures are put in place to return the "by-products" back to north of the Interstate highway. It has taken decades for the situation to deteriorate to the current conditions. And I can only wonder how many of us might survive to see the "racing surface" restored to its' former glory. My guess is that most of us will see Ray and Glenn, before we see the racing surface restored . . . . . . .
