Originally located approximately 27.4 kilometers (17.0 miles) south of Moses Lake Carbonate Lake contained evaporate lake deposits and was commercially developed in 1927 and continued production through the early 1940's. Carbonate Lake was destroyed in 1950 when the Columbia Irrigation Project built a dam at the south end of the coulee containing Carbonate Lake to provide irrigation water. Carbonate Lake was inundated by what is presently known as Soda Lake.
Deposit: Note: the deposit has been destroyed As a saline lake by the u.s. Bureau of reclamation in connection with canal construction for the columbia basin irrigation project.
