Salt Smartly! Did you know that too much salt in our waterways can harm aquatic life, especially frogs and salamanders? When using salt to treat your driveways and sidewalks, use only what you need and don't oversalt.

📢Registration is open!

Join us for a practical, real-world webinar that walks through the Ohio EPA (and USEPA!) audit experience of three small Ohio MS4s: Buckeye Lake, Pataskala, and Hanover in Licking County. This session goes beyond theory to share the experience of an audit, what Ohio EPA (and USEPA) reviewers focus on, common strengths and deficiencies identified, and lessons learned that can help your community prepare with confidence.

Whether you manage, support, or oversee a small MS4 program, you’ll gain clear takeaways to improve compliance, reduce stress during audits, and strengthen your overall stormwater program before the regulators come knocking.

❄ Save-the-Date: Winter Salt Week, January 26 - 30❄

Every winter, tons of salt is spread on roads, parking lots, and sidewalks to keep us safe. But once the snow melts, that salt doesn't disappear - it washes into our lakes, streams, and groundwater. Rising salt level corrode infrastructure, stress wildlife, and poses risks to our drinking water supplies.

Throughout the week, leading experts will share insights on smarter winter maintenance, community action, and innovative solutions. To register for webinars and to learn more visit: www.wintersaltweek.org.
