Abstract:The use of deicing compounds on winter roads has become an accepted practice for snow and ice removal in northern areas. The most commonly employed compounds have been the chloride salts sodium chloride (NaCl) and calcium chloride (CaCl(2)). The application of these deicing agents to roadways has increased dramatically in recent years due to the demand for safer winter driving conditions. The main focus of this study was an evaluation of the impacts on small ponds in interior Alaska by the experimental road salt called calcium magnesium acetate (CMA) through experimental additions to test ponds. Results from this study should help guide future consideration of using CMA in Alaska. (72 p.)
