As winter sets in, environmental groups keep road salt in spotlight Mounting evidence reveals private wells at risk from runoff By Pete DeMola EDITOR
STATE-FUNDED BROADBAND BUILD-OUTS MAKING PROGRESS — BUT FOR LAWMAKERS, ANXIETY LINGERS
LAKE GEORGE | As storms bear down in the Adirondacks and plows prowl the streets, local advocacy groups are keeping a spotlight on the effects of road salt. Stakeholders are coming to a gradual consensus on the impacts of sodium chloride on the environment, where high concentrations can be damaging to aquatic life. But emerging data is revealing salt leaching into groundwater and contaminating private wells is presenting a risk to public health.

But despite pledges that the program will cover 100 percent of the state, local officials continue to worry some households may be left behind. Photo by Danielle Rock

More than 7 million tons of road salt have been deposited on Adirondack roads over the past 35 years, according to the Adirondack Watershed Institute (AWI) at Paul Smith’s College. Application is highest on state roads, and much of it ultimately ends up in groundwater due to the thin and porous local soil.
