series.

*Mapping road salt storage facilities in Vermont’s Lake Champlain basin: An
analysis of potential drinking water impacts in vulnerable communities*

*Date/Time: *Wednesday, November 29, 2023 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm

*Location:* Zoom (registration required). *REGISTER HERE

.

*Speakers: *Stephanie Hurley, Associate Professor of Ecological Landscape
Design at the University of Vermont - Dana Allen, Principal of FluidState
Consulting.

*Description: *Use of deicing materials (road salt) in Vermont has
increased in the past decades. Chemical constituents associated with
deicing materials can potentially pose a risk to drinking water quality.
While deicing materials applied to roads represent a distributed, ephemeral
source of salts, deicing material storage facilities are a potential
year-round source of materials that can impact drinking water wells. This
talk will describe a 2022 study which included the development of a
geospatial database of deicing storage facilities in the Vermont portion of
the Lake Champlain basin and an evaluation of the potential for drinking
water impacts in vulnerable communities.
