"I've asked you to provide one shred of evidence that this inconsequential quantity of salt would in any way damage the environment. And you haven't, or cannot, do it."

You can't prove it can't. Despite that, you make the claim.

"It is obvious that a few tons of salt dropped into Puget Sound every few years isn't going to have any effect. AT ALL."

a) that is only true if it gets dumped in the whole Sound. That is certainly not the case. You keep talking about the whole Sound. However, the salt would have local effects.

b) it would be more than a few tons. I don't have a clue as to how much salt would be used, but there was one of those local segments about a town where a local spice company donated 20 tons of garlic salt to the town because it was past its use by date. The city guy they talked to said they go through 100 tons of salt when there is a heavy snow fall. Now, what they deem as 'heavy' is likely to be more than they would in Seattle. But, there are also a lot more roads in Seattle.
