| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the use of salt in winter maintenance, stating that "salt's low purchase price and general effectiveness...has led to its misuse and over applications." Discusses alternative winter maintenance opions, including the practice of anti-icing, explaining that "anti-icing is a pro-active strategy where a liquid deicing chemical is applied to pavement ahead of anticipated precipitation." Suggests the practice of pre-wetting salt, or the direction application of liquid chemicals. States that "proper calibration and application technique is likely the greatest first step towards reduced salt use and greater efficiency." |
