salt storage

Salt storage facilities are places for bulk storage of salt, usually sodium chloride, either in rock form or ground into small particles. The salt in such a facility may be used for food seasoning, for ice and snow removal on roads, for aquarium salination, or for any other purpose.

Both rock salt and salt ground into smaller particles are included. The form of the stored salt does not restrict it to food use.

Road treatment, aquarium salination, and food seasoning are among the possible destinations. The storage meaning follows the salt commodity, without requiring one end use.
