It is recommended that the Salt Institute implement an education and outreach program which targets private facility managers and salt application contractors in areas where salt application, handling and storage could be a significant drinking water threat. This program may be based on the 'Smart About Salt' program, or may include Best Management Practices from the Transportation Association of Canada, 2003 or Best Practices for Salt Use on Private Roads, Parking Lots and Sidewalks (Environment Canada, 2004). This program should be initiated within two years of the Source Protection Plan taking effect.
