Council Member Banks inquires about salt allocation and distribution for each council district. Acting Commissioner Lojan explains DSNY's salt storage and distribution system.
- DSNY maintains 42 salt storage locations across the city
- The total salt inventory is 350,000 tons, available to the entire city
- DSNY has not experienced salt shortages, but all salt sheds would be available to every district if needed

Thank you.

How much salt is allocated or reserved specifically for each council district, and how is this distribution determined?
Javier Lojan

So we have 42 salt storage locations across all the entire city.

I mentioned before, there's 350,000 tons.
Chris Banks

Right.
Javier Lojan
0:40:34
So that's available to the entire city.
0:40:37
We haven't thankfully reached a situation where we fell short of salt.
0:40:42
And if we did, you know, all we would have all the salt sheds available to every district, so we wouldn't have issues.
