Board of Directors, said, "The salt conditions are the best I've seen for several years, and the weather is perfect for racing. We hope to set many new records this year. We are also encouraged with the progress of the salt lay-down lay-down project." Concerns that the salt flats was disappearing resulted in the salt laydown project, supported by the BLM, the racing community and Reilly Industries, Inc. The five-year project began in 1997 with the objective of adding 1.5 million tons of salt to the salt flats each year of the project. By the end of the fourth year, approximately 5.3 million tons of salt had been deposited on the flats. With this addition of salt, the surface of the Bonneville Salt Flats has increased from 26 to 31 square miles since 1997. Glenn Carpenter, of the Bureau of Land Management Manage-ment Salt Lake field office, said the project is "a groundbreaking example of what can be accomplished when common interests pool their resources." Reilly Industries, Inc. financed the installation and operation of a million dollar salt-laydown facility. The facility consists of a series of canals and old salt ponds through which relatively rela-tively salt-free water is pumped to dissolve the old salt. The resulting brine is then transported onto the salt flats. Reilly and the BLM monitor the salt project proj-ect throughout each year to ensure salt-laydown specifications specifi-cations are met.
