Source reduction is the only effective management tool for chloride at this time. Training is an effective tool for winter maintenance professionals in source reduction. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has 2 training programs, one for winter maintenance of roads with reduced environmental impacts, one for winter maintenance of parking lots/sidewalks with reduced environmental impacts.
Information: The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has contracted with CDM Smith to develop information for this page. Note that there is considerable information on road salt and management of road salt at the websites shown below.
