I know this testimony is late for your meeting. But it is vital to build funding for the Road Salt Mitigation Fund. Green Mountain Conservation Group has been educating the public for 6 years on the importance of salt reduction. Go to their website "Salt Responsibly" (https://saltresponsibly.com/). Grant funding is needed to keep the pressure on municipalities and residents to pay attention to the damage and health hazards of using excessive salt on roads, driveway and walk-ways during the winter. Please support this fee and the efforts of the grant funding to organizations such as Green Mountain Conservation Group who are leading the charge.
