DEICING SALT APPLICATION RATES AT TERRESTRIAL VEGETATION STUDY SITES IN THE LAKE TAHOE VICINITY (1974-78)

The Transportation Laboratory in cooperation with the University of California, Davis, is engaged in a study of the effects of deicing salts on roadside vegetation in and around the Lake Tahoe Basin. The portion of the study dealing with soil chemistry, deicing salt application rates, ozone concentrations, and precipitation, was reported in a TransLab Interim Report dated January 1976. A Data Appendix Report containing the backup data for that Interim Report was published in September 1976. The University is preparing a report on the effects on vegetation.
