For most winter cities where the snow does not melt for the entire winter season, snow disposal is a necessary service. Snow disposal is not restricted to snow removal in such locations but also includes snow storage. Storing snow efficiently is operationally very challenging and expensive. Generally other winter activities like snow plowing, ice control or removal get much more operational focus in comparison to snow storage. Whether the snow is stored along streets, in a snow storage facility or both, proper planning is essential. Managing a snow storage site particularly involves several costs that are not restricted to staff and equipment costs only. Innovative practices need to be deployed to make the operation sustainable, efficient and environmentally friendly. The presentation will highlight City of Regina’s initiatives to make the snow disposal operation more sustainable by successfully implementing a pay per load user fee for snow storage. The presentation will provide an overview of how City of Regina is mitigating operational challenges associated with snow storage on or off snow storage facility.
