You live and drive in the North where salt is used on a regular basis during the Winter. The salt does not disappear at the end of the Winter. It just blends in to the surrounding soil and is present when the Summer rains come and allows it to be deposited on the undersides of any vehicles.
If there was that much salt nothing would grow along the roads, and they would only have to salt once at the beginning of winter. And it sure doesn't migrate from the road side back to the road surface.
Obviously you have never read any of the numerous environmental studies that have been done, which has caused many municipalities to switch from salt to other means of ice control. :R
