Project Title: Understanding and Managing Persistent Chloride Pollution in Freshwaters

Category: B. Water Resources

Summary: Stormwater systems can retain road salt, releasing it during summer and maximizing chloride impacts on freshwaters. We will collaboratively collect information needed to design stormwater ponds/wetland systems to minimize impacts.

Total Project Budget: $ 299,000
Proposed Project Time Period for the Funding Requested: June 30, 2023 (3 yrs)
