An act relating to reducing chloride contamination of State waters

This bill establishes a voluntary Chloride Contamination Reduction Program for commercial salt applicators, offering education and certification on best practices for applying salt and salt alternatives. Certified applicators who follow these practices may have an affirmative defense against claims for damages caused by snow or ice. The bill also requires updates to the Vermont Local Roads curriculum to include training for municipal salt applicators, who would also gain an affirmative defense if they complete the training and follow best practices.
