Yes

A brief description of the snow and ice removal program, policy, or practice:

We have upgraded all of our equipment over the past 6 years. We have discontinued use of straight rock salt and use only treated salt. Treated salt requires less material and has a lower eutectic temperature. Future strategies include the discontinuance of salt applications on sidewalks in favor of plow/sweep methods.
