MS4 Winter2
  1. Dispose of shoveled snow in vegetated areas. This will allow the snow to infiltrate instead of becoming runoff. 
  2. Use de-icing chemicals and salts sparingly. Focus on making your walkways and driveways safe, but avoid overusing or spreading in vegetated areas or near waterways. 
  3. Start shoveling early! The more snow you remove, the less salt you will need. 
  4. Make sure your nearest storm drains are clear.  Do not pile snow on storm drains and make sure your neighborhood plow is not piling snow over the drain.
