The handbook is based on the Manual of Practice for an Effective Anti-icing Program, produced by the Utah LTAP Center.
The first version of this handbook, published in 2005, was written by Connie Fortin and Carolyn Dindorf of Fortin Consulting, Inc. Updates for interim revisions, along with material for this new version, were written by Kathleen Schaefer of MnDOT.
