LIQUID ROAD TREATMENT FOR ICE CONTROL

A DISCUSSION IS GIVEN OF THE USE OF LIQUID SALT SOLUTION BY THE NORTH DAKOTA STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT FOR CONTROL OF ICY ROAD CONDITIONS. SOME ADVANTAGES OF THE USE OF THIS SOLUTION OVER DRY CHEMICALS ARE PRESENTED, AND A COST COMPARISON IS MADE. OVERALL, IT APPEARS THAT THE AMOUNT OF CHLORIDE USED FOR SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL, WHILE INCREASING SOME, WILL NOT INCREASE TO A DEGREE WHERE IT COULD HAVE ANY ECOLOGICAL EFFECTS ON PLANT GROWTH.
