Policy Text:

The City of Sault Ste. Marie shall update the Road Salt Management Plan to ensure that municipal best management practices are used for the existing municipal snow storage site where it could be a significant threat, including:

Maximize snow storage in the portions of the existing snow storage site that are outside of the WHPA-A
Ensure melt water drainage flows away from the Lorna WHPA-A
Education and training for municipal staff involved in snow storage

The municipality is encouraged to undertake a soil sampling and testing program on site utilizing available funding opportunities. Sampling results may indicate the need to
revise snow storage practices.
