Overall: Nice work. Complete sentences technically aren't a DYK stipulation, so I'll let that pass, but the sentence should be fixed sooner or later. There's an incomplete sentence:
Bounded by Napa River, China Slough and Devil's Slough.[22]

- @Epicgenius: Leslie Salt was using it as an evaporation pond for quite some time. What I know is they bought it in 1952-53, planned to have it in operation for salt harvesting by 1958... and were still using it in 1991. If they were still using it in 1991, it follows logically that they started using it at some point before, but I don't have an exact date for that. This source ("Area History". California Department of Fish and Wildlife. 2021-11-01.) says that they were converted at some point in the 1950s, but not more than that. jp×g 03:18, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
- I added a little clarifying note to this effect, let me know what you think. jp×g 03:19, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
