Chloride Regression Model and Mass Balance for Different Deicing Salt Application Rates on Three Watersheds in Essex County, New York
December 4, 2025
This data release contains tabular data for a regression model used to estimate daily mean chloride concentration from specific conductance, road salt application data, and mass balance data for a study of road salt runoff in Essex County, New York. Road salt application rates were provided by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYS DOT) and the Town of North Elba, NY. Data are grouped according to three road treatment reaches (Control, Treatment A, and Treatment B) located along New York State Routes 73 and 86 in Essex County, New York. Project details are available in Gutchess and others (2025).

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the New York State Department of Transportation, evaluated the effects of different deicing salt application rates on surface water, groundwater, and highway runoff quality near State highways in northern New York. Three reaches of State highways were tested with different deicing treatments between October 2019 and November 2022: a salt...
