The Science of Salt: Improving Application Practices and Water Quality

As winter approaches, many of us are thinking about safety and that often means salt. But how much salt do we really need? And what happens when too much makes its way into our streams and rivers?

Join us for a virtual session that breaks down the newest research from the Pooled Monitoring Program and explores what smarter salt use can look like. We’ll talk about how salt moves through our environment, how it builds up over time, and what we can do to protect water quality while reducing ice and snow from hard surfaces.

You’ll walk away with a better understanding of:

• The most common de-icing salts and how they’re typically used

• Why salt levels are rising in our waterways and why it’s a problem

• Practical ways to improve salt application during winter weather

• How stormwater best management practices handle salt

• Where to find more tools and resources after the webinar
