Landfill Closure & Cover Bio Based Tackifier
in Oregon

Massive coastal and valley rainfall will turn your slopes to mud without aggressive erosion controls. You must spray high-performance flexible growth media to stop slope degradation when the soil saturates. Lay geosynthetic reinforcement to stabilize the subsoil and hold the site together.

Operational Constraints for Landfill Closure

Daily and intermediate landfill covers face severe wind erosion, off-gassing, and strict regulatory leachate controls. Loose soils blow offsite or wash into drainage systems, instantly triggering compliance violations. The objective is to seal the surface without adding excessive weight or moisture to the waste mass. You need a high-viscosity hydraulic hydro-cap that forms a durable crust over the refuse. The polymer must lock in dust and aggressively repel rainwater to prevent it from infiltrating the cell and increasing the site's expensive leachate treatment volume.

Meeting ODOT Standard Specifications, Section 00280 Specifications

OHRA GreenTack anchors seed and mulch directly to the subsoil, providing the rain-fast shear strength required by ODOT Standard Specifications, Section 00280. Its microplastic-free botanical hydrocolloid network forms a 3D matrix. It resists high-velocity storm runoff and keeps synthetic toxins out of the watershed.

The matrix prevents "fisheye" lumping inside your hydroseeder pump. This stops pump cavitation and reduces friction head loss. You maximize your tank's spray payload and eliminate constant agitation adjustments on the job site.
