I support this bill which sets rules for the storage and management of snow and ice control chemicals so they don’t contaminate groundwater or surface water. It is important to have the Department of Environmental Services regulate safe storage, with stricter requirements near areas already affected by these chemicals. Runoff from improperly-stored road salts and de-icing chemicals can harm drinking water sources, lakes, and aquatic ecosystems, including creating conditions that favor harmful cyanobacteria blooms. Please vote yes on this bill.
