"It would be very destructive," said James Pechmann, a University of Utah geologist who addressed an earthquake workshop here Tuesday. In addition to rail lines and portions of Interstates 15 and 80 which run close to the lake, several lakeshore industries could be affected by subsequent flooding from a lake quake. Pechmann said there is evi gh dence that the East Great Salt Lake Fault runs 70 miles beneath the inland sea. Geologists say the fault begins near the lake's north shore and runs along the west side of the Promontory Mountains, Fremont and Antelope islands, ending at the south shore near the Saltair the lake fault, "We could get waves moving back and forth in the Great Salt Lake," Pechmann said. "This should be added to the inventory of possible hazards being considered." This isn't the first time the Great Salt Lake has figured prominently in an earthquake disaster scenario. Geologists last year raised the possibility of movement on the Wasatch Fault causing the valley floor to drop slightly. The Great Salt Lake would shift into these low so-call- ed 10-fo- ot resort.
