The salt is mixed with brine, and made right in Evanston, with the goal of keeping everyone on the roads safe and protecting the environment, at the same time. "It gets to a certain salinity which is somewhere between 22.5 and 23.3% salt to water," said Daniel"Chizel" Kwiecinski, a heavy equipment operator in Evanston.:"If you have too much salt, the water won't do anything to the snow."01:42
