September 3, North Carolina State University – Many urban streams harmful to aquatic life following winter pavement de-icing. The use of salt to de-ice pavement can leave urban streams toxic to aquatic life, according to a new U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) study on the influence of winter runoff in northern U.S. cities, with a special focus on eastern Wisconsin and Milwaukee. More than half of the Milwaukee streams included in this study had samples that were toxic during winter de-icing. In eastern and southern Wisconsin, all streams studied had potentially toxic chloride concentrations during winter, with lingering effects into the summer at some streams. http://www.usnews.com/science/articles/2010/09/03/many-urban-streams-harmful-to-aquatic-life-following-winter-pavement-de-icing.htm
