1) "The high salinity of the lake makes it uninhabitable for all but a few species, including brine shrimp, brine flies, and several forms of algae. The brine flies have an estimated population of over one hundred billion, and serve as the main source of food for many of the birds which migrate to the lake." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Salt_Lake#Ecosystem
2) "Two Republicans, Rob Bishop and Chris Cannon, as well as one member of the Democratic Party, Jim Matheson, represent Utah in the United States House of Representatives." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah#Politics
3) "Beginning in the late 19th century with the state's mining boom (including Kennecott Copper Mine, now the world's largest open pit mine), companies attracted large numbers of immigrants (of diverse faiths) with job opportunities. Other minerals mined in Utah in addition to copper are gold, silver, zinc, lead, and beryllium." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utah#Mining
4) Great Salt Lake (based on my memory of a physical map of the USA)

Several things wrong with your "facts". Beside the fact that there are signs of unbroken life, including vegetation, for the last several million years, the polar ice capes are dated to at least 160,000 year ago (they should have melted during the flood) and there are no other matching signs of "globally covering silt" in the geological column matching the "tundra ring" you mentioned. In fact, there is no global layer of silt in the geological column at all. Then there is the small detail that there is not enough water to cover the earth to the depth needed (we only have 1/5 of what is needed) and there is not enough hydrogen to make the remaining water. Remember that there was a ice age around 20,000 years ago that lasted until around 10,000 years ago, this would explain the tundra and Midwest deposits. Many lakes and various terrain features we see today were carved during that time. In order for you "bone breccia caves" to have any relevance to a global flood you would need to show that they all are dated to the same time, otherwise they are just unrelated bones. Not sure on the Salt Lake, but again, you would have to make a convincing case that it was formed at the same time as the nonexistent global silt layer and the bone caves. In other words you have not built any sort of case at all, other than to string together some unrelated pieces of evidence ans forced them into fiting your hypothesis. Science works the opposite way, you examine the facts and then come to a conclusion, as more evidence is found then you re-evaluate. Edit: By the way, have you ever thought about rainbows? The only way that they could not have appeared before is if either there was no moisture at all in the air - ever, or that the properties of light or water changed. Not to mention that we know that the oldest religion (35000 years ago), worshiped a rain god. Edit 2: Consider this: in order to cover Mt Ararat or Mt Everest, the water depth on all vegetation and seeds would be crushed by the water pressure - this would be like dropping them in the deepest trench in the ocean.

Brine shrimp thrive in salt lakes
I'm guessing it has one representative
Gold might be mined there or silver. It has good coal veins. Hmmm Great Salt Lake.

well fish cant live in it cause they are sensitive and need fresh clean water, But other animals like maybe turtles depends and crabs etc.
