Abstract:

A study was conducted to evaluate the product performance and potential environmental effects of five (5) winter maintenance additives: salt – reference (as brine or rock salt), AquaSalina, BEET HEET, GreenBlast, and Magic Minus Zero. Product performance was prioritized for the overall product evaluation as direct negative environmental impacts are expected to be minimal (based on project chemical analysis and toxicity testing) and to not exceed relevant water quality criteria; however, this may not apply to very small watersheds (minimal dilution) or watersheds that are known to have existing water quality issues. The top three performers, based on product performance, were as follows: 1) AquaSalina, 2) GreenBlast, 3) Magic Minus Zero. When product cost was included, the top three value products were: 1) Magic Minus Zero, 2) AquaSalina, and 3) GreenBlast.
