Mine Tailings & Quarry Pump Friendly Soil Matrix Amendment
in Louisiana

Highly saturated alluvial soils and expansive clays give you zero bearing capacity. You must mix in lime or cement to structurally stabilize the subsoil. High humidity and intense rain will strip your slopes bare, so you must lay turf reinforcement mats (TRMs) and spray advanced polymeric tackifiers to lock the seedbed in place.

Operational Constraints for Mine Tailings & Reclamation

Mine tailings and quarry cuts present one of the most hostile environments for revegetation. These sites feature extreme pH imbalances, sterile particulate matter, and unnaturally steep cut angles. Airborne toxic dust is an immediate operational hazard that triggers severe MSHA and EPA environmental fines. Standard agricultural hydroseeding fails completely in these sterile conditions. The site requires a heavy-duty, high-viscosity soil capping matrix that locks down dust instantly upon application and provides a highly retentive micro-environment to force seed germination in otherwise dead soil.

Meeting LADOTD Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges, Section 717 (Seeding) and Section 718 (Deflocculant) Specifications

OHRA GreenTack anchors seed and mulch directly to the subsoil, providing the rain-fast shear strength required by LADOTD Standard Specifications for Roads and Bridges, Section 717 (Seeding) and Section 718 (Deflocculant). 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.
