Low Salt Design is a series of design concepts aimed to create safer winter surfaces by improving pavement recovery and reducing the re-entry of snow and meltwater onto saltable surfaces. Safer surfaces reduce the need for salt. As such it is a pollution prevention practice that can be implemented at the design phase to help limit chloride inputs to surface and ground water in Minnesota.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) recently added concepts from Low Salt Design to sections on winter maintenance and chloride pollution prevention in the Minnesota Stormwater Manual. This webinar will provide an orientation to that content and an introduction to Low Salt Design principles.
