Winter Salting

Road salt is threatening Wisconsin’s lakes. If the salting practices are not changed, many lakes will exceed safe salt levels set by the Environmental Protection Agency within the next 50 years. Winter salting practices can also harm wild plants and animals. In an ideal world, salt should not be used on roads within 500 meters of surface water.

The first defense is prevention. More than 50% of road salt in Wisconsin is applied to sidewalks and parking lots by private citizens and businesses. Minimizing salt use on your driveway and sidewalk is important to manage the harmful effects of this pollutant. You can do this by:

-Shovel snow early and often! If the temperature drops after a snowstorm, the snow can turn icy and make removal difficult.
-The more scraping and removal of ice that you can do, the less deicer you will need to use. Deicers work best on a thin layer of ice.
-After you remove all of the snow and ice, sprinkle salt sparingly. Typically 1 cup of salt is sufficient for 10 sidewalk squares with three inches between crystals.
-As the sun comes out or the temperature rises, the deicer will make a slushy mixture of water and ice. Remove this before the temperature drops again and you should have an ice-free surface until the next storm.
-If it is too cold for salt to work, blends of birdseed or sand can be put down to increase traction.
