CHEYENNE — The receding Great Salt Lake is nearing record-low levels. The lake’s current elevation is about 4,194 feet above sea level. The average level is 4,200 feet.
Utah Geological Survey geologist Wallace Gwynn blames the lower levels, in part, on soil moisture. He thinks the region’s dry soil sucked up much of the excess runoff before it got to the lake this year. The lake is now about as low as it was in 2004.
