A brief description of the snow and ice removal program, policy, or practice:
Berea College has approximately 8 miles of sidewalks, 2 miles of roads, and 8 acres of parking lot that are maintained for snow and ice. During inclement winter weather, sidewalks are cleared by 2 to 3 mechanical sweepers, focusing on priority routes first. Building entryways and stairs are hand cleared and salted as needed with MgCl salt. Roads and parking lots are plowed and salted with NaCl rock salt. Throughout the weather event crews are checking all routes and repeating as necessary. If the weather forecast dictates a need for pre-treating, high traffic and high risk safety areas are salted with the above mentioned products, respectively.
