Phosphates, however are very handy in making Eurasian milfoil and other such nasties flowerish (heheheh) in aquatic ecologies.
I like road salt in the ditches, though, not on the roads. Keeps weeds down.
For Gods sake they have had car washes for half a century.
The Green religion has taken over. Environmentalist and
the PC crowd have taken the fun out of everything oh I did
indeed forget, the PETA bunch they too are a menace
Makes you want to run right out and throw a popsicle stick

All you need is grit. Salt/brine/some sorta fertilizer I heard about makes slush and there's no traction in that.
Anyone in BC heard anything about sugarbeet or sweet potato juice? It's just something that caught my attention on some TV show about heavy lifters on the Hill

It's abit over the top. But, I'm in the business, and was responding to anincident one time. It was an urban creek and a sunny Saturday and there were three charity car washes on it, all draining to the same creek. The suds were about 4' high by the time the creek hit the chuck. Didn't matter as much in the 60s and 70s because all the creeks were dead anyways. But due to more concern by local people for the environment, the creeks are all supporting life again.
That said, the suds are probably more of an inconvenience for the life in the creek than anything. Same with latex paint (another recurring issue is people washing their paint supplies in the storm sewers and turning creeks the colour of milk).
Car wash business is easy enough to fix--just drain to a buffer area like grass or gravel and use easily biodegradable soap.

My truck is worth half of my first house. It gets parked as far away from the doors as possible.
It's sugar-beets. Been using it on the coquihalla for a couple of years. Drops the freezing point to about -30 which is plenty in that area. Wouldn't work out here, we're colder than that a lot of the winter.
