2020 MS4 Annual Report <br />Resident Tips <br />• Managing Salt Use <br />• The more snow and ice you remove manually, the less salt you will have <br />to use and the more effective it can be. <br />• 150F is too cold for salt. <br />• Most salts stop working at this temperature. Use sand instead for traction, but <br />remember that sand does not melt ice. <br />• More salt does not mean more melting. <br />• Use less than 4 pounds of salt per 1,000 square feet (an average parking space is <br />about 150 square feet). One pound of salt is approximately a heaping 12-ounce <br />coffee mug. <br />• Sweep up extra. <br />• If salt or sand is visible on dry pavement it is no longer doing any work and will be <br />washed away. Use this salt or sand somewhere else or throw it away. <br />• Pick up pet waste <br />• Irrigate lawns with 1" of water per week <br />
