Save the Salt Pumping Update 2-28-08 from Mike Waters
Larry Volk Report
I made a trip to Intrepid on 2-22-08 at the request of Russ Draper; also there were people from the BLM,
Techs from the flow meter co. and people from Intrepid. Russ started the pumps At 7:00 am, the calibration
techs certified the flow meter, flow was holding steady at 6500 gallons per hour at 24 percent salt content,
this percentage is the max percentage the pumps can handle. The target tonnage is 400,000. I have included
photos of the deferent stages it takes to pump salt onto the Bonneville Salt Flats.
