A brief description of the snow and ice removal program, policy, or practice:
Even though the University of Nevada, Las Vegas is located in the Mojave Desert, there are occasions where ice forms and snow accumulates. Normally sand is used to prevent slipping and the ice usually melts quickly.
In instances where ice formation can be predicted or if a walkway needs to be cleared of ice, Stand Up deicer is used. This product does not create the damage to soils and surfaces that salt does and no ingredients in the product are defined as hazardous on the MSDS label.
