WHEREAS chloride concentrations measured in Lake Simcoe have steadily increased since the 1970’s and, if unchecked, could exceed the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment Chronic Guideline by approximately 2069; and WHEREAS chloride concentrations in urban tributaries are routinely above that Chronic Guideline, occasionally above the Acute Guideline and have recently exceeded the concentration of ocean water in one urban tributary, and continue to increase everywhere due to the use of winter salt on roads and parking lots; and WHEREAS these concentrations are lethal to some species of fish and benthic invertebrates, and decreasing the amount of winter salt use throughout the watershed is critical to the near-term health of urban tributaries and long-term health of Lake Simcoe; and WHEREAS a barrier to the reduction of salt application for parking lots and walkways is the scarcity of trained and certified winter maintenance contractors; and WHEREAS a more substantial barrier to the reduction of salt application for parking lots and walkways is concern over liability; and WHEREAS businesses in the winter maintenance sector are seeing insurance and legal costs escalate to the point where many have failed, and some property owners have been unable to find winter maintenance contractors; and WHEREAS the limited liability framework in practice in New Hampshire is based on the Canadian Smart About Salt guidelines and has been successfully defended in the higher courts.
