A brief description of the snow and ice removal program, policy, or practice:
practice The Custodial and Landscape Services department maintains guidelines for snow and ice treatment that help to minimize environmental impacts by reducing storm water pollution and reducing chemical use. The University switched from using cinders to now using salt for snow and ice treatment. The salt is pretreated prior to use to minimize the amount used. In additionn the department does not treat the campus as often as it used to. This contributes to the reduced impact on the environment.
