P42 <br />We believe that the amount of salt can be significantly reduced from the estimated level <br />by implementation of anti -icing and by the additional measures of training staff to <br />manage the use of salt. Some of the grant funds will be used to train staff to follow "The <br />Minnesota Department of Transportation, Field Handbook for Snowplow Operators for <br />Snow and Ice Control." The handbook has detailed guidelines for applying salt based <br />upon the pavement temperatures and weather conditions. The Handbook <br />recommendations vary from 100 to 400 pounds per two -lane mile depending upon the <br />event type and pavement temperature. <br />We believe that implementing anti -icing and by training staff to follow the MNDOT <br />Handbook recommendations, we may be able to reduce the amount of salt that would <br />otherwise be used by approximately 40 %. <br />• <br />• <br />• <br />
