Maryland Can Protect Its Roads Without Salting Its Waters By Hayden Haber

Maryland’s economy and culture rely on the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. In the 2025-2026 winter season, the Maryland Department of Transportation reported rock salt in 87 salt facilities (386,000 tons) and salt brine at 77 sites (1.6 million gallons). These salts were the materials available to the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA). Runoff from salt-applied roads carries chloride into the waters that Chesapeake communities depend on. In Maryland, salt damages 28 watersheds, impairs water quality, endangers native species, and pollutes drinking water.
