    Loon Lake West Shore by Mike Grinnell

    The chloride monitoring and reduction work with the MTO has completed for this past winter. The introduction of DLA to the area was successful in reducing the amount of chloride getting into Loon Lake, Dysart et al. The MTO will be expanding the DLA program to include the entire Highway 118 corridor, beginning in the winter of 2025-2026. This project has shown the importance of monitoring water and correcting any discovered issues when discovered. Because low levels, below 20 mg/l were being monitored, a Taylor K1598 kit was used that is basically a drop test kit using titration.

    ORP was 247. This is the first general testing of the season. And the last chloride test for the Ministry of Transportation - Ontario. The MTO was given a graphical summary of the winter season showing the rise in chloride and the rapid decline in chloride with their conversion to Direct Liquid Application in our area.
