A brief description of the snow and ice removal program, policy, or practice:
At UMM, the summer grounds crew are also responsible for snow removal in the winter. This is beneficial because they are aware of what is under the snow and are able to make educated decisions about the best place to put removed snow. In addition, they have been doing research on organic ice removal products and are performing experiments each winter. Currently, they are working with a liquid de-icing product that must be sprayed on before a snow/ice event.
