| (2) | The brand must be a Cargill product that complies with ASTM E 534 specifications such as: the bulk deicing salt has a sieve mesh of ½” or less granule, so it will work with our onsite salt spreaders. |
| (3) | It must be treated with YPS (yellow prussiate of soda) anti-caking agent, to help resist caking and prevent clumping. |
| (4) | Egyptian salt is not acceptable. |
| (5) | The Salt must be stored in a covered facility and is transported covered, to minimize the moisture content. |
