Anywhere there is a decent amount of rainfall, the normal amount of salt used
for melting ice is diluted and causes no harm. I have been putting salt in the
winter and calcium chloride in the summer down on my dirt road for years, and
the grass still grows up in the middle where the vehicles don't roll and right
along the edges.
Find something else to worry about. :-)

his living. -Henry David Thoreau, naturalist and author (1817-1862)
