NYS Encourages People To Reduce Rock Salt Use Under âDonât Be Salty, New Yorkâ Campaign âDonât Be Salty, New Yorkâ is the name of a statewide campaign to encourage people to reduce their use of rock salt in order to protect the environment. New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Amanda Lefton said that while applying rock salt on roadways, parking lots, and sidewalks helps to ensure the safety of those traveling by vehicle or foot, overuse of salt can be costly for consumers, degrade infrastructure, contaminate runoff that enters streams and waterbodies, and impact drinking water. To help protect water quality while maintaining public safety, the DEC launched the âDonât Be Salty, New Yorkâ public awareness campaign to help educate property owners, managers, communities, and snow and ice removal professionals about the impacts of rock salt and the various strategies that can be implemented to reduce salt use. http://www.wrfalp.com/nys-encourages-people-to-reduce-rock-salt-use-under-dont-be-salty-new-york-campaign/
