Spiral Jetty News - An Obstructed View?

A request has been filed to permit oil drilling in the Great Salt Lake four miles from the Spiral Jetty. The proposed exploratory drilling, subsequent infrastructure, and staging area would all be visible from the Jetty.

The State has not yet made a decision on this application. Director of the Resource Development Coordinating Committee, Jonathan Jemming, will be taking comments from the public until Feb. 13, 2008. Please contact him and tell him about your concerns, referencing Application No. 8853.

Any update on this? A friend was showing me some websites with land art a few months ago and I'm planning on going up to see the Spiral Jetty when it warms up.
