Abstract

The City of Calgary is setting a new standard in its efforts to prevent the release of stored salts to the environment. The City's state-of-the-art 194th Avenue Roads Maintenance Depot encompasses structures and practices that minimize the risk of wind erosion, run-off and leaching of road salt products. Measures implemented at the 194th Avenue Depot are proving successful in containing stored road salts, thereby protecting local watersheds and aquifers as well as the surrounding soil, flora and fauna from salt contamination. This project was nominated for the TAC 2004 Environmental Achievement Award. For the covering abstract of this conference see ITRD number E211426.
