Question 37586 — roads

Summary

Ms. Paula Forteza draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition to the consequences of road salting on biodiversity. This question is asked on behalf of citizen Nicolas Garbolino, as part of the “citizen questions” initiative in the Government. The impact of salting on the environment is “undeniable”, as recognized by the services of the Ministry of Ecological Transition on the management website interdepartmental authority for Eastern roads. For example, it has been shown that salt contributes to forming a paste that suffocates plant roots or that, by deglazing, it can spread to watercourses through runoff. Various environmental defense organizations, such as WWF or France Nature Environnement, have already had the opportunity to point out the disadvantages of salting, the excessive use of which can cause the death of certain animals and living organisms, particularly in aquatic environments. She would therefore like to know if alternatives to salting are being considered by the Government.
