Can someone explain the green color of the entire pile of salt that the
Highway dept. is using now?

I'm highly concerned about a pre-treatment chemical being considered. The
problem is that whatever the town applies to the roads in the center of town
is ending up in our drinking water-hence the salination problem. I'm even more
concerned about a non natural chemical product with color additives, etc.
We had a 'no salt' zone in the center of town, why can't we simply return to
this? The change to remove the 'no salt' signs and begin applying salt was not
a public process as no one seems to have any living memory of it. The sensible
thing to do would be to simply return to the policy we had in place ten years
ago when we purchased our home here with a well near the road-NO SALT.
There are other roads in town without the same considerations regarding wells
close to the road. I'm writing specifically about the center of town.
Can we add this to the next selectboard meeting agenda?
Thank you. -j

At the end of last Winter a lot was going on regarding road salt, as I recall.
Maybe an update is in order. These are the things I {think I) remember:
1. The Board of Health was working on the situation and reviewing their
records for the last time this was a problem,
2. A citizens committee was monitoring well water of houses in the center of
town for salt,
3. The Town Coordinator was going to order a trial amount of a very expensive
pretreatment chemical as a test,
4. To determine if the entire aquifer was polluted, well water at the school
and the house behind Croak's both of which are somewhat distant from public
ways were going to be tested for salt.
5. One house with very high salt and a resident's health problem was receiving
bottled water.
6. A citizens committee was monitoring salt purchases, which was showing a
distinct decline in tonnage bought over the course of last winter. Has this
continued into this Winter?
7. The Selectboard adopted a salt policy, or perhaps and interim salt policy?
What is the result of all these goings on?

Subject: [The-L] Salt on the Roads??? Here we go again
Not sure what's going on... I believe I just saw the town highway guys out and
about spreading salt all over 78. It's 40 degrees and we've already had the
town salinate our wells. I thought the selectboard had asked the town highway
department to limit the salt application in the center of town? What's going
on???
