OMGWTF. What a moron, this isn't a natural disaster (or desaster either lol) Get a clue dude, this mine probably saves thousands human lives every year by providing salt for icy highways.
Wow imagine yourself walking across the desert in the sun heat and coming up to this and you can't do anything but look. The Bristol dry lake has been mined hundreds of years. There is a 250 foot high Volcano just west of the Bristol Dry Lake.
Bristol Lake is rich is calcium chloride. I'm a chemical engineer. This is not an environmental disaster. Why do idiots post this kind of stuff? I know the owner and I lived at Roy's for some time.
National Chlorine Co. extracts calcium chloride that way. It's used as a salt substitute on food and ice melting on highways. It's not an environmental disaster.
I been there too for a field trip to go to Amboy Crater. What they doing is they dig these diches and my teacher said they are 50 feet deep. The water table is close to the surface. The water is so salty, that after a while, the whole dich turns into salt all the way to the top. The water is so salty, if you stick your hand in there, it turn white from salt. That water is salty as hell and has a tingly feeling when I stuck my hand in there.
I meant environmental not natural.
