Acting Commissioner Lojan provides information on DSNY's current inventory of salt, calcium chloride, and brine. The department maintains near-capacity levels of these materials.

  • Salt inventory: About 300,000 tons (close to the 350,000-ton capacity)
  • Calcium chloride inventory: About 350,000 gallons
  • Brine inventory: Fully stocked at 75,000 gallons

  • The inventory levels are slightly below full capacity due to recent usage in a storm event

  • DSNY aims to keep supplies close to maximum capacity throughout the snow season
