Soni of the common containments are paint, landscape — grass clippings or fertilizers and oil spills on asphalt. He reviewed some of the 2012 Accomplishments. In 2012 Lino Lakes received grant for the Rice Creek Water District to purchase brining equipment for the streets With the grant he was able to purchase $30 thousand for a brine tank and 5 spot applicators With this equipment they are able to put down the salt/water combination before a snowfall and cut way back on salt/sand on winter roads. In 2012 40% of route was only salt and hopes to increase that number for winter of 2013. Mr. Payne presented pictures of a culvert problem before and after a storm.
