40 Magcorp

Description

This area runs along the Magcorp (currently called US Magnesium Corporation of Salt Lake City) dike road from the west GSL shoreline to Badger and Stansbury Islands. Pond 1N designates Magcorp’s solar pond “1 North.” It is the first pond to receive brine from the GSL and has approximately twice the salinity of the lake. The survey was conducted by driving the 11-mile length of the dike (western margin to Stansbury Island) and counting birds on the south side to the distance where species may be identified. Pond 0 designates the GSL immediately north of the Magcorp dike and is the source of water drawn into Magcorp’s solar ponds. Birds are counted on the north side along the length of the dike. There is no public access.
