How well do you know your organization’s salt use and any likely savings from new practices?

There is an upcoming online MPCA Smart Salting Assessment tool Level 2 Certification on May 20, 2020 from 8 am to noon.

The MPCA Smart Salting Assessment tool (SSAt) is for anyone hoping to track their salt use and take steps to reduce it:

• Public and private organizations engaged in winter maintenance
• Winter maintenance leadership
• Public works managers, supervisors, and lead staff
• Local governments
• Small business owners

The SSAt creates a personalized, detailed assessment of your winter maintenance practices. It examines bar and non-bare surfaces: level of service expectations; past, present, and future winter maintenance practices; and salt and cost savings. The certification training will allow attendees to learn to use the tool through the new online format to create current and future practices reports for internal training, budgeting, and communicating with those who fund maintenance work. The tool will help organizations reduce salt use and apply salt efficiently.

There is no fee for this online training, but registration is required. Email environ@co.dakota.mn.us or call 952-891-7000.
