River
Cleanups
|
|
Every
year, Great Salt Lakekeeper plans community based river cleanup
projects throughout the watershed. With the help of volunteer groups we
remove tons of garbage from the waterways.
|
|
Organizations
can utilize Great Salt Lakekeeper's services to plan river cleanup
projects in their cities and neighborhood communities.
|
|
In
2007, Great Salt Lakekeeper received an award from the Utah Pollution
Prevention Association for our 2006 Jordan River Cleanup Campaign.

Great
Salt Lake Mercury Reduction Program
|
|
Mercury
concentrations in Great Salt Lake are the highest levels ever tested by
federal scientists, and may pose significant health risks to humans and
wildlife living in the drainage basin region.
|
|
Great
Salt Lakekeeper is working to help evaluate the extent of mercury in
our watershed, identify probable sources, assess human health risks,
determine economic impacts, and to provide public education.
|
|
The
extent of mercury compounds in our watershed may be the result of toxic
emissions from coal-fired power plants or gold mines operating nearby
in Nevada.
