      As a parent of three living in Davis County I am very concerned about the 
      long term health of my children.  Already facing numerous additional 
      airborne health threats including pollution from numerous refineries lying 
      just west of my home, extensive dust from gravel pits to the southwest, 
      heavy congestion in our area along I-15, and dust rising from existing 
      dried beds of the Great Salt Lake, I believe that drying aquifers in the 
      west desert will result the creation of a dust bowl situation that will 
      bring only more harmful particulates to the area.  With more and more 
      threats to the great salt water levels including growth of population 
      along the wasatch front and proposed industrial expansions that may use 
      hundreds of thousands of acre feet of lake water I imagine that threats of 
      other airborne particulates from dried lake beds may, but definitely 
      should not, already be in the future.  Please do not take "any" action 
      that may dry areas such as the west desert or the Great Salt Lake and 
      subsequently lead to an unhealthier home in which to raise my family.



      Sincerely,
