Equipment Washing. Equipment washing for the winter fleet is done in the Works Maintenance Building. The drainage system is equipped with an oil\grit separator and is connected to the sanitary sewer. This ensures that washing debris, salt, grit, oil, etc. is not directed to the natural environment. Continue this practice and investigate the potential for an isolated wash bay. Deliveries of winter sand occur when the sand is dry and can be loaded directly in the sand dome. This serves the purpose of not freezing and clumping prior to and during application. Salt is mixed with the sand on an as needed basis. Sand \ salt mixtures returned to the yard are dumped directly into the sand dome. This prevents salt leaching from the mixture into the natural environment. To maintain the practice of receiving dry winter sand. Deliveries of salt are commenced in late fall in order to provide an initial stockpile for the winter season. As the winter season progresses salt is ordered on an as needed basis. The salt is delivered in covered trucks and is either dumped directly in the salt dome or moved in the salt dome ASAP. The fresh salt absorbs less moisture than stockpiled salt and as such is less susceptible to clumping. As the winter season tapers down less salt is kept on hand. This results in a low inventory over the summer months when the salt could degrade.
