How many cups of salt we talking here. Guy says his 3 0z of herbicide add up. So how many cups of salt would add up? Then multiply that annual salt loading over the years. But how about we go outside the forum, from a bunch of pond managers to a Water Quality Specialist, from a Lake Management Unit?

Pretty much shoots down the no effect argument, and this is from a water quality expert. Road salt trickles in from the melting, it is not dumped or sprayed cup after cup pondside.
