Mine & Quarries

Protecting Workers and the Community From Dust hazards in mining

Mining and quarry operations face unique environmental challenges that can impact worker safety, surrounding communities, and regulatory compliance. Remedia specializes in sustainable, science-backed solutions tailored to mine and quarry sites, providing advanced dust control and heavy metal contamination mitigation to protect air, water, and soil while supporting operational efficiency.

Dust generated from blasting, crushing, and material handling not only poses respiratory hazards but also contributes to visibility issues and community complaints. Remedia’s dust control solutions leverage non-toxic, biodegradable agents that bind fine particles, reducing airborne dust without compromising the site’s operational workflow. Our team implements customized application plans that optimize dosage, frequency, and coverage to address varying weather conditions and high-traffic zones, ensuring consistent compliance with dust emission standards while preserving water resources.

Tackling Heavy Metal Contamination in Mine Sites

Heavy metal contamination from mining activities can leach into groundwater, damage surrounding ecosystems, and lead to costly liabilities. Remedia employs advanced in-situ and ex-situ remediation technologies to immobilize and remove heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury from soils and tailing ponds. Using our proprietary blends of reactive media and bioaugmentation techniques, we enable sites to meet environmental discharge limits and rehabilitate impacted areas effectively, supporting ESG goals and stakeholder confidence.

By partnering with Remedia, mine and quarry operators can transition toward cleaner, safer, and more sustainable operations. Our chemists, field technicians, and environmental engineers work closely with site teams to design and execute tailored plans, ensuring measurable results while maintaining regulatory compliance. Together, we help mining and quarry sites reduce environmental footprints while protecting operational continuity.

EPA/DfE recognition does not constitute endorsement of our products. The Design for the Environment logo signifies that the formulas for our products, as we have represented to the EPA, contain ingredients with more positive health and environmental characteristics than conventional products. EPA/DfE relies solely on our integrity and good faith for information on the composition, ingredients, and attributes of our products. EPA/DfE has not independently identified, i.e., via chemical analysis, the ingredients in our products, nor evaluated any of the non-ingredient claims we have made. EPA/DfE expresses its judgment and professional opinion only as to the environmental and human health characteristics of our products, based on currently available information and scientific understanding.

Solterra™ is the only complete line of cleaning, remediation and odor elimination products to be recognized for safer chemistry by the EPA’s Design for the Environment (DfE) program. Solterra™ products were found worthy of recognition after passing a rigorous third party toxicology review and an EPA scientific review. For the DfE label, Solterra™ partners with the EPA to maintain the highest standards of product safety.

 

What is the Design for Environment Program?

 

Design for the Environment (DfE) works with environmental organizations and industry to protect human health and promote sustainable chemistry. DfE’s Safer Product Labeling Program helps to protect families and the environment by distinguishing household cleaning products, like soaps, detergents, and cleaners that are safer for people and the planet. The EPA’s scientific team rigorously evaluates each product for its impact on both human and environmental health.

 

What Does the DfE Label Mean?

 

EPA allows safe products to carry the Design for the Environment (DfE) label. When products carry the DfE label it means a scientific review team has screened each ingredient for potential human health and environmental effects and that—based on currently available information, EPA predictive models, and expert judgment—the product contains only those ingredients that pose the least concern among chemicals in their class.
