The weighted down sheeting covers a stockpile of rock salt about 170m long, up to 75m wide and maybe 15m high, making a volume of at least 150,000 cubic metres. There are other such stockpiles further down the Weaver valley. If you wonder whether there is demand for so much salt, see Andrew Fielding's photo Image
