Yes, but they're inaccessible to most. You can, however, sprinkle salt smarter.
Shi’s advice? Be smart—and sparing—about rock salt use. “Homeowners’ practices are not well-informed,” he says. “They apply way too much [deicer].”
Essentially, the salt should break the bonds between the ice and the pavement to make it easier to shovel, plow, or run a snow blower. Many people throw gobs of sodium chloride on frozen patches, when all they need is a thin layer of crystals or liquid brine. “If you can see salt particles on your driveway or sidewalk, that’s too much,” Shi explains. He alsoThose who have a stream or open body water on their property should take extra care.
“It’s not just the responsibility of state transportation departments. Homeowners and commercial entities with big lots like Costco need to play a role too” he says, “It will take a whole village.”
