As snow and ice accumulate, it's tempting to use lots of salt to clear driveways and sidewalks. But did you know that salt runoff can wash into storm drains and pollute the Clinton River? Chloride from salt is harmful to aquatic life and affects the river’s water quality.
This winter, try these snow removal tips: Shovel first and apply salt sparingly, Use alternatives like sand or kitty litter for traction, and Clear snow away from storm drains to prevent ice buildup.
Salt is one of the best mainstream tools that residents and communities have to clear ice and prevent injury. Just keep the Clinton River and other local waterways in mind when combating winter weather, and avoid over-salting.
