Re: [LincolnTalk] Electric Radiant Heat Under Bathroom & Mudroom Tiled Floors

We installed radiant heat under the subfloor of an existing bathroom several years ago. In that scenario (under the subfloor) radiant floor heat by itself was not enough. We later remodeled the bathroom and replaced its original tile floor, moving the radiant heat to ABOVE the subfloor and

My curiosity was piqued by this discussion, so wanted to do at least a simplified, back of the envelope calculation as to the potential danger to public health from elevated levels of sodium in groundwater in Lincoln. Some quick Google and use of a calculator resulted in this: "Sodium and

Re: [LincolnTalk] Too much - or too little - salt on the road

Dear Michelle, You are pretty dead on. And I’m not just agreeing because you’re making my argument for me.  Indeed, any public policy choice *should* take into account impacts on things like hypertension and heart disease! Absolutely. What I am super curious about, however, is

Re: [LincolnTalk] Too much - or too little - salt on the road

This is not high salt use. This is the normal use that has been going on for years. It looks worse than it is because the use was for ice only and not snow conditions as well. The salt needs to be driven on for it to dissolve as well. Which is why there appears to be “excess “ on side roads. You

 Dear Dennis, The most recent citation in that article you linked to “Road Salt Impacts on Drinking Water” (which actually appears to be a chapter — do you know who wrote it as it doesn’t say?) is 1990. Has there been nothing done since?! I somehow doubt that. Interesting quote on the

Re: [LincolnTalk] Too much - or too little - salt on the road

As always, it’s good to look at the data. Assuming that data is available. To look at just LINCOLN, the first question is – when was “peak” salt use? Some sources say that salt use in the Northeast in general peaked in the 70s and 80s, and has since reduced thanks to better weather

Re: [LincolnTalk] Too much - or too little - salt on the road

OK-using this approach, we would need to look at how many loves have been lost, how many injuries have been sustained, much property damage has accrued, and how many law suits filed against the Town when there was not this much salt put down. This should all be public information, available

Since this seems to be a growing conversation, a couple of points as food for thought. As with everything else involving politics and public works, we have to ask ourselves when considering taking action - "what are the TRADEOFFS for taking a proposed action?" Or "Every benefit has a cost;

Re: [LincolnTalk] Too Much Salt on Road

Each time this year they have used salt it has been needed. Salt is very expensive and hard to come by this year so they would not waste any on purpose. Years ago when the town used minimal salt the roads were awful. After a large snow storm Trapelo Rd would look like a snow covered dirt road
