A brief description of the snow and ice removal program, policy, or practice:
North Seattle Community College has a comprehensive snow removal plan that is updated regularly. As NSCC is located in Seattle where winters are usually temperate and mild, snow and ice usually melts quickly. Our snow plan is very hands-off for much of the campus, addressing frequently used areas first and leaving much of the snow and ice to melt on its own. Snow is swept or shoveled away from high traffic walkways and an environmentally safer CMA based granular ice melter is sparingly applied. The parking lots are treated with sand to increase traction. The sand is then collected from eco drains that prevent it from entering the storm water system and reused.
