LKE's "technology" partner, Lilac Solutions has a subsidiary called Waterleaf Resources. Waterleaf Resources is wanting to pilot on the Great Salt Lake in UTAH.
The website for Waterleaf is here
https://www.waterleafresources.com/
On the website, the company has stated they are targeting recovery of only 50-90%
The grade of the brine is circa 50mg/L.
The company is in the process of applying for permits for this pilot. There have been a few articles written about waterleaf, eg
https://www.sltrib.com/news/environment/2023/09/07/new-lithium-company-wants-billions/.
A hearing took place on the 14th Dec 2023. Here is a twitter feed with some details
Friends of the Great Salt Lake filed a protest

So Waterleaf (aka Lilac) suggested scaling back plans to use 10% of the original water? When questioned about whether they have returned the water before, their response was in the negative.
Yet LKE/Lilac want to pump 33GL of Kachi brine pa, and consume almost 2GL of fresh water pa (first 2 years) using a process that has yet to be demonstrated (in its entirety).
Good luck with that
