| Alkali LakeAlkali Lake and Dunes, and Hutton Spring, to the west.Bruce Pavlik's (1985) review of sand dune flora of the western United States included the Alkali Lake Dunes as its northernmost locality. Hutton Spring, on the northwest margin of Alkali Lake, is the sole habitat of the Hutton tui chub, classified as a threatened subspecies by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. On the southwestern margin of Alkali Lake is a pretty messy chemical waste disposal site. About 25,000 drums of pesticide manufacturing waste were disposed of here in the late 1960s and 1970s. In 1976, the drums were crushed and buried in place in shallow trenches and fenced. Current analysis concludes that the site does not present a significant risk to the public or the environment.
