Little late to the party... We use thousands of tons of salt mines from enormous reserves 2000' below the great lakes. Dumpling this locally on all roadways. What effect does this have as it eventually makes its way to all our fresh water lakes? I often wonder, but guess that the elevation means it ultimately drains to the oceans and is replaced by fresh spring waters. Is there any concern here?

Thanks much for the response, I suppose we've been doing it for the better part of 40-50 years, but the salt that has been buried deep below doesn't return back. Guess time will tell
