This review touches on the ecological and anthropogenic impacts road salts, primarily NaCl, pose across various spatial scales, including regionally in the Lake Champlain Basin. Later sections look toward the future of road salt application and consider how winter road management practices could be altered to decrease future or long-term road salt-related impacts.
