Arizona has several deposits of subsurface salt (sodium chloride) that are thicker than the Grand Canyon is deep (Peirce, 1981a). These deposits are some of the thickest in the world (Peirce, 1989; Faulds and others, 1995, 1998). Salt in Arizona is solution mined for industrial purposes near Phoenix and used to store liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) near Phoenix and Holbrook. Salt deposits near Phoenix and Kingman are being considered for the storage of natural gas. Several other basins have potential for the discovery and development of significant salt deposits.Documents in the AZGS Document Repository collection are made available by the Arizona Geological Survey (AZGS) and the University Libraries at the University of Arizona.
