If you are an MS4 permittee, you can get a head start towards meeting the new chloride requirements in the MS4 permit by having your winter maintenance staff (and those you hire) participate in an upcoming MPCA Smart Salting Certification Training. The training offers practical and technical information on better application and management practices, salt storage, policy examples, and resources for community outreach.
