Mine Tailings & Quarry Slurry Stabilizing Haul Road Dust Control Agent
in Utah

Arid aridisols and sandy loams will blow away in the wind or wash away in flash floods. You must spray biotic soil amendments and cross-linked polyacrylamide tackifiers to hold moisture and glue the soil together. Manage your moisture aggressively and spray flexible growth media to lock down friable cut-and-fill slopes.

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 UDOT Standard Specifications Section 02922 - Seed and Mulch Specifications

OHRA GreenTack & ViscoLok anchors seed and mulch directly to the subsoil, providing the rain-fast shear strength required by UDOT Standard Specifications Section 02922 - Seed and Mulch. 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.
