This interactive workshop will help participants understand the impacts of chloride on infrastructure and water resources and provide them with specific action steps to make policy changes in their communities to reduce salt pollution.

The workshop is open to city council members, board members of watershed districts or housing associations, and other community decision-makers who are not directly involved in road salt application or water softener use but could benefit from learning about the advantages of Smart Salting.

Chloride pollution from road salt, water softeners, and fertilizer affects the quality of our lakes, rivers, and streams, and leads to damaged infrastructure and properties. There’s no feasible way to remove chloride once it gets into the water, and salty water harms our freshwater fish and other aquatic wildlife. Smart salting strategies can help reduce chloride pollution while saving money and maintaining safe conditions for winter transit.

State, county, city policy makers, and other community leaders that make policy to govern other entities have an important role to play in chloride management and promoting smart salting strategies. Smart Salting for Community Leaders highlights achievable policies and actions that can be considered to assist with reducing salt use.

This workshop is free, but registration is required. Learn more and sign up on the MPCA's event page.

This training is hosted by the MPCA Chloride Reduction Program and Ramsey County League of Local Governments. Funding comes from the Clean Water Fund and MN GreenCorps.
