SUMMARY:DMV Winter Salt Week Open House
DESCRIPTION:While salt keeps our roads safe during icy weather\, using more than needed comes at an expensive price to our waterways\, infrastructure and drinking water. Winter salt runs off the roads and becomes a permanent pollutant in our waterways. Only one teaspoon of road salt permanently pollutes five gallons of water\, and road salt is not filtered out of our public drinking water. Data compiled by the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin shows a 10-fold increase in chloride (a chemical released from the breakdown of winter salt) in the Potomac River at Great Falls over the past 80 years. Twenty-eight streams in Maryland are considered impaired due to chloride. \nThe event:\nWhat: DMV Winter Salt Week Open House \nHosts: Izaak Walton League of America and partners \nWho’s invited: Media\, government officials\, NGOs and members of the public \nDate: Saturday\, January 31\, 2026 \nTime: 10am – 1pm EST \nWhere: Izaak Walton League of America Headquarters\, 707 Conservation Lane Gaithersburg\, MD 20878 \nAttendees can learn how to monitor water quality with Salt Watch after a short walk to our local stream\, Muddy Branch. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own water samples from home (either their tap water or water from a local stream\, pond\, or lake) in a clean sealed plastic or glass jar to test as well. There will also be an opportunity to see a smart salting demonstration led by Jason Swope from the Chesapeake Conservation Landscaping Council. \nSpeakers will include Watershed Restoration Planning Division Chief of Maryland Department of the Environment Greg Sandi\, Montgomery County Water Restoration Division Chief Amy Stevens\, General Manager/CEO of WSSC Water Kishia Powell\, and other conservation leaders. Media\, government officials\, NGOs and members of the public are invited to this event. \nPlease register so that we can notify you in case of cancellation due to inclement weather. \nThis free event is brought to you by the Izaak Walton League of America\, Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection and the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin. \n
