Greetings SWCWN Members,
Salt application is a delicate balance for many reasons. Watershed protection, cost-effectiveness and public safety all enter the picture. To add to the balancing act, there are individual specifications for equipment of various kinds. The question begs asking - is a particular truck and salting unit depositing what it says it is?
On that front, we have some excellent information for you courtesy of Mary Jo Lange, Director of Public Works/City Engineer for the City of Cudahy. It echoes Connie Fortin's presentation on salting that many of you attended in 2018.
