Summary:
With road salt application in the northeast expected to rise throughout the 21st century, there are potential risks to aquatic life and human health concerns. Government bodies have begun to respond to these potential risks with Best Management Practices (BPMs) designed to reduce salt application for de-icing. Kris Stepenuck and others reviewed the BPMs designed for government use of chlorides during winter maintenance to adapt for private and commercial contractors' use in this peer-reviewed journal article.
