Mine Tailings & Quarry Slope Stabilizing Tackifier
in Idaho

Mountainous topography and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles will destroy weak subgrades. When high-intensity, short-duration storms hit, spring runoff will destabilize your slopes. You must use degradable erosion control blankets and high-performance hydroseed matrices to contain sediment and establish roots fast.

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 ITD Standard Specifications for Highway Construction (Section 212 - Erosion and Sediment Control) Specifications

OHRA GreenTack anchors seed and mulch directly to the subsoil, providing the rain-fast shear strength required by ITD Standard Specifications for Highway Construction (Section 212 - Erosion and Sediment Control). 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.
