A brief description of the snow and ice removal program, policy, or practice:

HSU uses a proprietary mixture of complex salt with a Polymer agent that has no OSHA or ACGIH limits established. In order to best supply a safe walking surface for our students during icy conditions, we mix the salt/polymer (a.k.a. - Ban Ice) with one part to 10-20 parts coarse sand. Following the icy conditions, the sand mixture is picked up via manually or by sweeper and disposed of by dispersing and integrating into campus landscape soils in areas where salt tolerant plantings exist.
