Why snow removal crews are moving away from rock salt
Road crews have been forced to pre-treat and de-ice Central Virginiaâs roads in recent weeks. However, environmentalists are urging localities to take a closer look at what theyâre putting on the roadways. Rock salt is the most abundant and cheapest way to clear the roads, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). Foresters like John Jastrzembski have studied the environmental impacts that sodium chloride has on Mother Nature. âThereâs no doubt itâs a necessary thing, but there are environmental consequences of using salts,â he explained. âThere are always traces of the salt deposits whether they leach into the waterway or groundwater or move downriver to the Chesapeake Bay.â
