  • Abstract:
    The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), evaluated the effects of cold-weather chloride deicers (road deicing chemicals) on groundwater quality, with a focus on chloride, near the Siskiyou Pass in southwestern Oregon. The study covered the period during July 2018 through February 2021. Between the years 2016 and 2020 ODOT applied up to 16,000 gallons per mile of chloride deicer and 143,000 pounds per mile of road salt along an 11-mile stretch of Interstate 5 (I-5) through the Siskiyou Pass. Despite the benefit of safer driving conditions, there are potentially negative environmental effects associated with the use of chloride-based deicers (such as magnesium chloride and sodium chloride). The results from this study are intended to help ODOT assess the water-quality effects from the application of chloride deicers at the Siskiyou Pass and inform decisions on how those chemicals are used.

    The total size of the zip file is 27.5 KB. The .csv, Comma Separated Value, file is a simple format that is designed for a database table and supported by many applications. The .csv file is often used for moving tabular data between two different computer programs, due to its open format. The most common software used to open .csv files are Microsoft Excel and RecordEditor, (for more information on .csv files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/csv-file-extension). The .xml file type is commonly used for files written in Extensible Markup Language (XML). XML is a human-readable, machine-understandable, general syntax for describing hierarchical data, applicable to a wide range of applications (for more information on .xml files and software, please visit https://www.file-extensions.org/xml-file-extension).
