Great Salt Lake Dust Mitigation

planned

The project involves addressing the toxic dust problem caused by the drying of the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The exposed lake bed is spewing toxic dust containing harmful particulates and toxins, posing a public health threat. The project aims to mitigate dust through various methods such as planting vegetation, shallow flooding, and gravel dumping, similar to dust control efforts at Owens Lake in California. The goal is to prevent a long-term public health crisis and avoid billions in cleanup costs.
