SWIFT Contract Number 158301

Project Name Hot Shots for Cold Climes - Evaluating Treatment o

Project Number (if applicable) 1033068

Summarize purpose of the contract, including why it was necessary: This study will produce a characterization of the benefits and costs (labor, equipment, and material purchase) of different
approaches to deicing and anti-icing, based on actual wintertime pavement application. The different approaches will be
defined on ordinary or "normal" sections of roadway and stubbornly difficult roadway sections. This work will greatly add to the
current scientific and policy discussion around the reduction of chloride released to the environment versus the choice of
keeping roadways open at given levels of service. The results of this work will provide discrimination between normal and
difficult roadway sections, and directly lead to the specific targeting of winter maintenance efforts, reducing engineering, labor,
and material costs while improving environmental protection through a greater understanding of the reasons for deicer
treatment variation
