This large salt producer has two major evaporation pond areas: 19,000 acres at Little Mountain (where this plant is located) and a 17,000 acre field of ponds 21 miles across the lake, near Lakeside. The brine from the Lakeside field flows in an open canal underneath the lake surface, taking as long as 10 days to arrive at this plant. The facility produces potassium sulfate (for fertilizers), sodium chloride (for industrial salt applications), sodium sulfate (used in laundry detergent and glass), and magnesium chloride.
