A brief description of the snow and ice removal program, policy, or practice:
On sidewalks, power brooms are used whenever possible as they will remove all snow, minimizing or eliminating the need for de-icing materials. Roadways and parking lots are generally plowed and de-icer is only applied when conditions become unsafe, and then as little as possible. When de-icing material must be applied it is applied only by the grounds crew who are trained in the use of spreading equipment, which provides even coverage and minimal product use.
