A brief description of the snow and ice removal program, policy, or practice:
We monitor winter conditions and use appropriate ice melt products. Our main concern is safety of the individuals walking on campus. We do use a liquid potassium acetate solution which is less toxic to the environment, however because of the severity of our winter there are times when the temperature is below zero and only sand and calcium chloride will work. We do try to only spot treat icy areas rather than blanket spread the sand/salt whenever possible. As we haul snow from campus it is piled in a parking lot designed to recapture the sand and filter the water as it melts to minimize effects on the Red River drainage.
