To ensure that any Existing or Future application of road salt ceases to be, or never becomes, a significant drinking water threat, where this activity is, or would be, a significant drinking water threat, the County of Brant will require implementation of a Salt Management Plan with a goal to minimize salt usage through alternative measures while maintaining public safety.
The Salt Management Plan shall include, as a minimum, measures to ensure application rate, timing and location, reduce the potential for salt-related surface water run-off and groundwater infiltration and meet the objectives of Environment Canada’s Code of Practice for Environmental Management of Road Salts including the salt vulnerable area mapping to include areas where significant threats can occur.
