There should definitely be a plan for the brine.

I'm optimistic we could:

* Build ocean pipelines that disperse brine over much larger volumes of water to minimize impact on wildlife

* Dump the brine water in engineered desert fields where it will evaporate and deposit salt reserves.

In general, we should be aware of the whole lifecycle of a solution, and optimistically believe we can solve each problem with more work.
