Policy Text:
Where the future and existing application of road salt could be a significant drinking water threat, the Municipality shall develop or review/update their Salt Management Plan.
The Salt Management Plan will include at a minimum:
Management of sodium or chloride compounds used for dust suppression
Minimizing application of road salt and/or use of alternative compounds
Training for staff (such as the Smart About Salt program)
Implementation of best management practices for salt application outlined by Environment Canada and the Transportation Association of Canada
The Salt Management Plan will be initiated within one year and completed within two years of the Source Protection Plan taking effect, after which it shall be reviewed annually to ensure it includes all current best management practices outlined by Environment Canada and the Transportation Association of Canada.
