As in effect on May 1, 2008
Any person who applies salt, crushed slag, or sand to roads in Salt Lake, Davis or Utah Counties shall maintain records of the material applied. For salt, the records shall include the quantity applied, the percent by weight of insoluble solids in the salt, and the percentage of the material that is sodium chloride. For sand or crushed slag the records shall include the quantity applied and the percent by weight of fine material which passes the number 200 sieve in a standard gradation analysis. All records shall be maintained for a period of at least two years, and the records shall be made available to the Executive Secretary or his designated representative upon request.
After October 1, 1993, any salt applied to roads in Salt Lake, Davis, or Utah Counties must be at least 92% sodium chloride (NaCl).
(1) After October 1, 1993, any person who applies crushed slag, sand, or salt that is less than 92% sodium chloride to roads in Salt Lake, Davis, or Utah Counties must either:
(a) demonstrate to the Board that the material applied has no more PM10 emissions than salt which is at least 92% sodium chloride; or
(b) vacuum sweep every arterial roadway (principle and minor) to which the material was applied within three days of the end of the storm for which the application was made. For the purpose of this rule, the term "arterial roadway" shall have the meaning outlined in U.S. DOT Federal Highway Administration Publication No. FHWA-ED-90- 006, Revised March 1989, "Highway Functional Classification: Concepts, Criteria, and Procedures" as interpreted by Utah Department of Transportation and shown in the following maps: Salt Lake Urbanized Area, Provo-Orem Urbanized Area, and Ogden Urbanized Area (1992 or later).
(2) In the interest of public safety, any person who applies crushed slag and/or sand to arterial roadways because salt alone would not ensure safe driving conditions due to steepness of grade, extreme weather, or other reasons, may petition the Board for a variance from the sweeping requirements in (1)(b) above. Specifically excluded from these sweeping requirements are all canyon roads and the portion of Interstate 15 near Point of the Mountain.
