Newly appointed Great Salt Lake Commissioner Hannah Freeze has two things on her to-do list: fill the lake, and fill it as fast as she can. As the Great Salt Lake shrinks, toxic dust from its exposed bed hangs in the Salt Lake Valley, and critical habitat for migratory birds continues to disappear. Great Salt Lake sits at 4,190 feet as of early August — eight feet short of the minimum target range established in the 2024 strategic plan. Null is also part of the Great Salt Lake Strike Team, a group of experts in public policy, hydrology, water management, climatology, and dust. Null and Freeze both made it clear that saving the Great Salt Lake does not rest solely on the farmers.
