BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
The Operations Department during the winter of 2004/2005 dealt with fluctuating
weather pattems that saw changes from rain to snow to freezing rain within
hours.
Please note in the following table the total number of our responses for this past
winter season:
November December January February March April Total
Call Outs
2 18 18 10 12 3 63
As of April 1, 2005 the Operations Department during the winter season of
2004/2005 incurred 4058.5 hours of total overtime including 987 hours for
Sunday maintenance.
This winter, staff also responded on 27 occasions to early morning calls in order
that we could achieve our levels of service.
BUDGET:
The 2004 winter maintenance budget from January 1 to December 31 was
$1,286,935.00 with an actual of $1,302,375.00 after the year end inventory
adjustment was made.
The 2005 winter maintenance budget is $1,281,935.00 with an actual of
$1,057,781.28. There is approximately $200,000.00 remaining of the 2005
budget which should cover November -December winter response activities.
SALT MANAGEMENT PLAN:
Environment Canada along with The Transportation Association of Canada has
developed a program which is called the "Synthesis of Best Practices of Salt
Management".
Guidelines have been set for everyone, whether it be a private contractor or a
municipal/regional government operator to follow on how they mange their salt
consumption and storage.
This came about in 2001 as a result of a five year study done by Environment
Canada on the effects that road salt has on the environment. As a result of the
study, it was suggested that some sort of program should be put into place to self
regulate the salt used by road authorities who use in excess 500 tonnes per year.
REPORT NO. OPD-009-05

SALT MANAGEMENT PLAN cont'd:
A "Code of Practice" was brought about in April of 2004 by Environment Canada
outlining much of the same information put into place by the TAC. It was at this
point that all road authorities were asked to develop their own "Salt Management
Plan" and submit to Environment Canada by October 31, 2004 their intention to
comply with this. This plan would need to be permanently put into place by June
30, 2005, with notification to Environment Canada stating that the plan is now in
place.
Nine points are stated in this guideline, which range from housekeeping practices
at the depot, their salt/sand storage areas, the storage area design as well as
several others such as Training of all staff who participate in winter maintenance
activities on the "Best Practices of Salt Management"; Road and Bridge Design;
Drainage and Storm water Design; Pavement Types; Vegetation Management;
Design and Operation of New Depots; Snow Storage/Snow Dump sites from
snow removal activities and Winter Maintenance Equipment & Technology.
As a result of this draft, the Operations Department has followed the guidelines
set forth and recommends the salt management plan which is attached to this
report for Council review and approval. Attachment #1
On June 30, 2005 we must forward to Environment Canada in writing that this
plan has formally been put in place and abide by the policy set forth by us in the
interest of reducing salt consumption.
The Municipality of Clarington, Operations Department is committed to working
within the confines of this plan in the interest of managing our salt storage and
consumption. We will stay abreast of new technology, and keep the plan up to
date with the current industry standards.
GLOBAL POSITIONING SATELLITE TRACKING SYSTEM:
In early 2005 the Operations Department experimented with a Global Positioning
System program called Geo-Tab. This is a satellite tracking program which will
enable us to prove beyond any reasonable doubt the complete activity of each
and every truck or piece of equipment in the fleet outfitted with this device. This
tool will allow us to see everything that the truck has done to whichever specified
time or date we ask for. This will include the exact true time and location
REPORT NO. OPD-009-05

GLOBAL POSITIONING SATELLITE TRACKING SYSTEM cont'd:
the plow went down a specified road as well as the activity the truck was
performing at the time, i.e., start and finish times, plowing, sanding, stopping
points and idle time.
The Operations Department will be recommending in the 2006 budget funding to
equip some of our vehicles with the intention of completing this initiative by 2008.

SAL T MANAGEMENT PLAN

MUNICIPALITY OF CLARlNGTON SALT MANGEMENT PLAN
Backl!round
The Municipality of Clarington has about 1740 lane kilometers within the framework of a
classification system, which provide for the safe, efficient and affordable means of
surface transportation for all road users. We rely on our roadway network throughout the
year for commuting to and from the workplace, to recreational facilities, for the transport
of goods and services and for our emergency services.
Winter storm conditions have a dramatic impact on public safety, roadway capacity,
travel time and economic costs. The municipality as other regional and municipal road
authorities must use road salts to maintain safe roads and walkways for the citizens of the
Municipality of Clarington during the winter season.
In 200 I Enviromnent Canada released an assessment report stating that road salts are
entering the enviromnent in large amounts and in turn are posing a possible risk to all
aquatic life such as fish, lake and stream eco-systems, groundwater as well to plants
animals and birds.
This report recommended that salt be designated as toxic under the Canadian
Enviromnent Protection Act or (CEP A) for short. It should be noted that Health Canada
stated that road salts are not harmful to humans.
Instead of regulating road salts as toxic substances, Enviromnent Canada has elected to
pursue a voluntary program to promote improved salt management practices including an
initiative to encourage all road authorities to effectively manage their amiUal salt
consumption by implementing a salt management plan.
Given the enviromnental concerns regarding road salts, the Municipality ofClarington
has decided to implement a Salt Management Plan in 2005.
This will address growing concerns about road salts are having within our municipality
on our natural enviromnent and at the same time continue to provide for road safety by
better managing the municipality's use of road salts.
It should be noted that while the municipality looks at ways of utilizing our salt
consumption more effectively, safety for both pedestrian and drivers remain our most
important priority during our winter maintenance operations.
The Municipality of Clarington continues to monitor the ongoing research into the use of
alternative to road salts (sodium chloride) during winter maintenance operations;
however at this time road salt continues to be the most economical form of deicer across
Canada. However because of the adverse effects that road salts has on the enviromnent
the "Salt Management Plan" strives to reduce the amount of road salts entering the
enviromnent by including a "Best Practices" procedure, educating our "Winter Road
2
Staff', and using new pro-active technologies to better serve our citizens and protect the
environment.
The review strategy in the "Salt Management Plan" requires the municipality to review
and investigate new technologies as well as trials conducted on promising developments.
Purpose ofthe Plan:
The "Salt Management Plan" sets forth a policy and procedural framework for ensuring
that the Municipality ofClarington continuously improves the management of road salts
used during winter maintenance operations.
Any modifications to the municipal winter maintenance activities must be carried out in a
fashion that provides roadway safety and mobility consistent with weather conditions
experienced during snow and ice control season.
The Municipality ofClarington's plan allows to phase in new approaches and
technologies in a way that is responsible to fiscal demands and the needs to ensure that
roadway safety is never compromised.
Closinl! Note:
The Municipality ofClarington is committed to ensuring that all Municipal roads are
properly maintained in accordance with our Level of Service Policy. While doing so the
Municipality is committed to reducing the impacts that deicing chemicals such as road
salts have on our environment.
The Municipality of Clarington has adopted this comprehensive "Salt Management Plan"
and is committed to implementing it over the next few years. The Municipality will also
continue to improve this plan as more salt management techniques become readily
available.

Policv Statement
The Municipality of Clarington is committed to providing its citizens and all users of our
road network keeping with Provincial Legislation and accepted standard while striving to
minimize the adverse affects that the use of road salt can have on our environment.
To meet this commitment the Municipality ofClarington will:
.
Meet and adhere to the guidelines within the "Salt Management Plan";
Review and upgrade as necessary the standards contained in the "Salt
Management Plan" annually, to take into account new technologies and
developments;
Work with Environment Canada, Transportation Association Canada, The salt
Institute, as well as other neighbouring municipal/regional road authorities to
continually upgrade our "best winter practices"; and
Commit to ongoing training and education of our staff
.
.
.
Introduction:
The major activities related to winter maintenance are:
. Salt and Sand storage;
. Salt / Sand spreading;
· Snow plowing
. Snow removal and disposal
. Sidewalk winter control
Winter Ooerations - Roads Deicinl! and Plowinl!
Snow & Ice Removal and Disoosal:
As a result of our winter maintenance activities, snow and ice naturally accumulate at the
side of roads as windrows and mounds. The Municipality starts its snow removal in the
different BIA districts, when the snow and ice become either a nuisance or a hazard to
motorists or pedestrians.
Our snow removal operation involves the use of front end loaders, dump truck vehicles,
skid steer vehicle, medium duty tractor with push blade and motor grader vehicles.
In past years the Municipality has used many different sites to dispose snow removed
from municipal streets and roads during its snow removal operations.
The Municipality of Clarington will as a result of implementing this salt management
plan, look at disposing snow, as part of it snow removal plan, only to sites that minimize
or eliminate the negative effects to the surrounding natural environment.
4
We will take into consideration the many different classifications outlined in the
'Synthesis of Best Practices Road Salt Management" as per Transportation Association
of Canada, (TAC) when selecting an appropriate site.
Our sites will be checked annually to determine suitability. All of our selected sites will
be deemed suitable before using as a proposed dump site.
Soil type, run off contamination, ground water contamination, water way contamination,
contamination of private properties are to name a few considerations in selecting a site.
All dump sites will be checked on an on-going basis during winter maintenance activities.
Operational Practices & Stratel!ies
Overview
Each subsection in the following set of tables presents a discussion of the objective,
environmental considerations, current situation, goal planning, responsibilities,
performance measures and references (documents or tables).
SALT MANAGEMENT'S KEY GOALS
Level of Service
. The level of service policy will be reviewed and updated as needed
Electronic Spreader Controls
. Over a three to four year period; all salt spreaders will be equipped with a ground
speed regulated controllers; this will enable the driver to better control the rate of
application to deliver the correct programmed amount. The cost per unit is
currently $6000.00.
Spreader Calibration
. At the start of each winter season we will check the calibration of the equipment
to give accurate results; if necessary mid winter calibration checks will take place
if deemed necessary.
Equipment Washinl!
. Our plan for the future is to have all equipment washing take place inside where
all waste water will be collected into a three stage waste water interceptor.
5
Salt Orderinl! & Deliverv
. Measures are being taken to minimize loss of salt during delivery operations
Deicer Record Keepinl!
. We will record salt use by vehicle, route, and storm and periodically compare the
usage to benchmarked rates to confirm spreader calibration. Records kept on file
should enable us to determine past performance and determine if further salt
reduction is possible.
Sand Salt Blends
. We will maintain our sand/salt mixture to between 10-15% ratios.
Salt & Sand Storal!e
. All of our storage facilities will be maintained and kept in good repair and
regularly checked
. All storage areas will have impermeable floors and kept in good repair.
. An asphalt emulsion spray will be applied every 2 years at a cost of $1 000 per
depot to seal both floors and walls
. Salt will not be allowed to remain unprotected outside of the storage areas; if
short duration outside storage is necessary all piles will be tarped.
Good Housekeepinl! Practices
. We will minimize the amount of spillage and promptly clean up any spill to
reduce run off;
. No storage of salt or the loading of it will take place off any impermeable surface
Weather Forecastinl!
. We will improve access to weather information and provide instruction to night
patrol and staff on interpreting weather info when making snow and ice decisions.
Storm Response
. Storm response data will be kept to help to fight future storms and analyzing how
storms were handled
Winter Patrol
. As part of our level of service, our patrol guideline will be amended as needed to
ensure our service policy is met and demonstrated.
6
Traininl!
. We will educate all of our winter maintenance staff and explain the benefit of an
effective salt management plan, its impact on the environment and cost savings
. Other examples include:
. When to and how apply chemicals
. Concepts and merits of use of liquid chemicals for pre-wetting operations
. Proper record keeping and review
. We will participate in TAC sponsored programs and send supervisors as needed
. We will encourage where possible "Train the Trainer" to do in house training
modules
Snow Removal & Disposal
. We will review current sites used and determine sensitivity to the environment
. Please see Appendix "A" Snow Disposal Sites - Maps
Tecbnolol!v Review
. We will continue to look at new methods and effective products that could
minimize salt usage and the impact on the environment
. We will implement infa-red thermometers in all supervisors as well as night/day
patrol vehicles
Communication
. We will communicate with all staff and the public of the municipality's
implementation and commitment to effective salt management. We will recognize
the importance of the existing two way radio communication service. This service
is extremely important in winter storm management. It must be kept current with
the level of technology available.
Monitorinl! Prol!ram
The municipality will implement an ongoing winter monitoring program to track all
elements of its salt management plan.
