Title:

The Salt Storage Handbook: A Practical Guide for Storing and Handling Deicing Salt

Abstract:

Good storage facilities with adequate capacity can go a long way toward guaranteeing sufficient salt when it is needed to maintain a high level of winter maintenance for the safety and mobility of motorists and the unimpeded movement of goods and services. Because salt is so vital, proper storage must be provided to protect it from the elements and to protect the environment. Good storage becomes even better with proper housekeeping around storage areas. This manual will help in planning or improving salt storage facilities and provides guidance for good storage and handling procedures.
