Abstract:

This report presents the major results of an in-depth study of Snow and Ice Control Operations conducted in four States during the winter of 1975-76. The states involved were California, Colorado, Pennsylvania, and Utah. To the extent possible, within the time frame of the study, all aspects of snow and ice control activities (material, equipment and labor) were analyzed. Initial estimates indicate potential savings on the order of $5 million among the four states upon implementation of the changes recommended as a result of this project. The recommendation with the greatest potential for immediate cost reduction are the control of application rates and the adoption of ground control spreaders.
