Mine Waste Reclamation Design and Cover System Monitoring

GSA has participated in reclamation planning, design, and in situ analysis for almost a dozen large-scale mine reclamation programs. We have conducted reclamation studies from the Great Basin and Southwestern deserts in the United States to the Andean mountains of South America. We specialize in designing and implementing experimental test plots and cover performance monitoring systems to determine the effectiveness of cover material, cover depth and revegetation methods. Our reclamation services include:

• Physical, chemical and hydrologic characterization of waste and borrow material
• Design and implementation of greenhouse and field-scale vegetation studies
• Design, implementation and monitoring of cover performance monitoring systems
• Development of seed mix recommendations
• Development of calibrated unsaturated flow models to predict cover system performance
• Design of revegetation plans
• Vegetation and erosion monitoring
