SUMMARY:BMP Talk & Tour: Sensible Salting and Salt Smart Certification
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the last BMP Talk and Tour workshop of 2022!  \n\nThe Talk and Tour will focus on Sensible Salting and Salt Smart Certification.  This free program is open to everyone and will be held from 1:00 to 3:00 PM on Friday\, November 4 in Conference Room B of the McHenry County Administration Building at 667 Ware Road\, Woodstock\, IL 60098.  We highly recommend elected officials\, municipal staff\, facilities managers\, and business owners attend this workshop. \nOur expanding use of roadsalt and other chemical deicers damages the environment\, corrodes infrastructure\, and pollutes water. This workshop will show the impacts from our use of roadsalt and the best practices everyone can use to maintain safety while reducing pollution.  The workshop will also introduce an exciting new program that will revolutionize snow and ice management practices on parking lots and sidewalks.  A live demonstration of Sensible Salting practices will also be provided.  We are very excited about this program and guests who attend will gain a solid understanding of the issues and solutions on this important topic. \nREGISTER AT: https://bit.ly/3Kq78Qp \nLight snacks and beverages will be provided.  We will also be raffling off a brand new Earthway Liquid Push Spreader ($500 value) so one lucky guest can start practicing Sensible Salting on their own property. \nThe Talk and Tour workshops are provided by the Environmental Defenders of McHenry County’s Water and Natural Resources Committee with assistance from the McHenry County Department of Planning and Development.  For more information on how you can help protect McHenry County’s natural resources visit the Defenders website https://mcdef.org/ \nPlease register for the Talk and Tour at https://bit.ly/3Kq78Qp or contact Scott Kuykendall\, McHenry County Water Resources Specialist\, at SHKuykendall@mchenrycountyil.gov if you need additional information.
