Policy Text:

Where the application of road salt on unassumed roads and private parking lots with greater than 200 square metres is, or would be, a moderate or low drinking water threat in any of the following areas:

 WHPA-A (VS = 10) (existing, future); or
 WHPA-B (VS ≤ 10) (existing, future); or
 WHPA-C (existing, future); or
 WHPA-D (existing, future); or
 WHPA-E (VS ≥ 4.5 and <9) (existing, future); or
 HVA (existing, future).

the municipality is encouraged to:
a) require implementation of a salt management plan which includes the goal to minimize salt usage through alternative measures, while maintaining public safety; and
b) require the use of trained individuals in the application of road salt (could include technicians and technologists and others responsible for salt management plans, winter maintenance supervisors, patrollers, equipment operators, mechanics, and contract employees).
