The Iowa method of spraying liquid calcium chloride onto sodium chloride applied in snow and ice removal operations was evaluated On four sections of highway in the Staunton District. From the relatively sparse data accumulated over three winters, it was concluded that the slight advantage gained through use of the method was offset by the addition

Based on laboratory flume tests, it was concluded that waste cellophane could be used effectively for trapping and filtering waterborne sediment. It was also priced competitively and, like straw and burlap, it was found to be biodegradable in a soil environment and to give off no known toxic or other deleterious effects.
