ICYMI: To wrap up “Winter Road Salt Awareness Week,” the Izaak Walton League hosted an event in Gaithersburg about smart salt use as well as the negative effects of road salt on the environment, including local waterways in Montgomery County.

Today is World Wetlands Day! Wetlands are vital to the Anacostia River – they filter incoming water to the river, trap and hold sediment, stabilize the shoreline, reduce flooding, and provide a haven for many native species of fish and mammals.

Winter Salt Awareness Week (1 of 2). On Friday, I visited a gathering of governmental and non-governmental organizations at the Izaak Walton League HQs in Maryland to raise awareness of the danger of over-salting roads and sidewalks. @IWLA_org @PotomacCommis

Our hearts go out to those involved in yesterday's crash. If you have information related to the recovery efforts in the Potomac or Anacostia rivers or on the shore, call 911. Do not touch or remove the item(s). This is critical to supporting the impacted families & investigation

[ICPRB @PotomacCommis]

Join us today (Jan. 29) at 2:30pm for a webinar to hear directly from state and local agencies about recent successes and challenges addressing the winter salt issue and what you can do to make a difference.

Our biologists have spent a lot of time monitoring our waterways but have yet to come across an alligator. There's still hope, though.

[ICPRB @PotomacCommis]

Hey, @SteveRudin7News we just heard the @WTOP weather calling for rain to wash the salt away. Now is the time to clean it up so that it DOESN'T get washed away to become a forever pollutant in our waters, in our drinking water, poisoning aquatic life, and damaging infrastructure.

[Northern Virginia Clean Water Partners @onlyrain_nova]

Join leaders from across the DMV region tomorrow from 2:30-3:15 PM EST for an important discussion on smarter winter salt strategies! Learn how VA, DC, & MD are protecting our environment while keeping roads safe. Register now at https://t.co/OyF6nIjgiK! ❄️

[Fairfax Water @fairfax_water]

It's Winter Salt Awareness Week! In the winter, salt keeps us safe while on the move. It also leads to higher levels of salt in the region’s drinking water supply.
