JEFFERSON COUNTY, Ohio — In 2019, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine launched the H2Ohio initiative to help protect state waterways by reducing excess road salt and other sources of pollution. Now, that effort continues through the Ohio EPA's H2Ohio rivers chloride reduction grant program.

“The grant is for articulating plow blades,” Jefferson County Engineer Eric Hilty said. “These blades, they are supposed to contour the road surface better, which will remove more snow during the snowstorms and allow for reduction and insult that we have to utilize on our roadways.”

This isn't the first time the engineer's office has received funding through the program. Officials say the latest grant will help modernize their equipment and make winter road maintenance more efficient.
