Good for Utah for stepping up.  They already handle low-level radwaste at Envirocare Energy Solutions out west of Salt Lake City on Rte 80.  It's truly shocking how shallow the water table is there.  They have to basically bury in the first couple feet of sand and cover it up. They catacomb a lot of waste in concrete at the surface. (FYI: the Great Salt Lake may not look close but the water table from it stretches forever.)

Millard County looks like an interesting choice.  I don't know the full geology there for storage of high level radwaste.  It's further south and drier than the Envirocare site. It does have a usually evaporated lake bed from Sevier Lake. I'm not sure of how far away the "salt dome" is.
