首都地区将道路盐的使用量削减10%,以保护水和基础设施,使用诸如预处理和有针对性的应用等更聪明的方法。 The Capital Region cut road salt use by 10% to protect water and infrastructure, using smarter methods like pre-treatment and targeted applications.

首都地区正在减少道路盐的使用, 以解决环境危害及去年冬天的短缺问题, Johnstown等城市使用预处理水桶、定向应用及“热负荷”来减少使用量。 The Capital Region is reducing road salt use to address environmental harm and last winter’s shortages, with cities like Johnstown using pre-treatment brine, targeted applications, and "hot loads" to cut usage. 在一项将径流与水污染和基础设施破坏联系起来的2023年研究的推动下,全国范围内的盐使用量从192英里下降到每车道里程174磅。 Statewide, salt use dropped to 174 pounds per lane mile from 192, driven by a 2023 study linking runoff to water pollution and infrastructure damage. 虽然干盐在严重风暴中仍然必不可少,但官员们强调在安全与可持续性之间保持平衡,避免过度使用和处理不足。 While dry salt remains essential in severe storms, officials stress balancing safety with sustainability, avoiding both overuse and under-treatment. 一些城镇在短缺后花费了应急资金来补充。 Some towns spent contingency funds to restock after shortages.
