dissolved salts on roadways are carried into adjacent storm sewers that enter our local rivers, lakes, and streams.
Once in the water, there is no way to remove the chloride, and at high concentrations, chloride harms fish and plant life.

Below are a few tips for keeping salt use down and OUR waterways healthy.
    1) Shovel First

    2) Use SALT Sparingly: Use less than four pounds of salt per 1,000 square feet 

    3) be patient; salt takes time to work. 

    4) Sweep Up extra salt on dry pavement. The excess can be swept up and reused for the next snow or disposed of in the trash.
    5) Wait For Warm Weather: Most salts stop working efficiently when the temperature is below 15 degrees. You can use sand instead for traction in these frigid conditions.
