This is not a tenable solution. Randy detailed the problems this presents with respect to the quantity of salt deposits present. Another problem is that we see precipitation of minerals (including salt) around volcanic vents today. The results look nothing like (in either apperance or chemistry) the salt deposits that are a part of the GC. Also salt deposits contain several lines of evidence that they were created subarially by evaporation (presence of pollen, dust, micrometeorites etc). I covered this in a post to TC some time back (see link below).
