Has the institution implemented technologies or strategies to reduce the environmental impacts of snow and ice removal?:
A brief description of the snow and ice removal program, policy, or practice:
The College utilizes rotary brushes whenever possible to remove snow from walkways in order to reduce the amount of salt used. Salt is also applied to specific areas that need it rather than applying salt everywhere. The timing of the salt application is also considered in order to maximize its effectiveness and ensure its efficient use, such as limiting salting during overnight plowing shifts.
