A brief description of the snow and ice removal program, policy, or practice:
For ice-melting, UAF only uses salt for stairs. Gravel and a deicing potassium chloride are used to keep sidewalks safe. Much of the gravel used to provide traction on icy roads is swept and reused in the next season.
UAF campus Master Plan's design guidelines for snow removal are as follows: "Design and locate planting areas to collect retain and direct ice- and snowmelt and stormwater runoff"
Snow dumps are located so that melting doesn't go directly to wetlands, rivers or lakes. In the snow dump places melting water is filtered through ground.
None
