Mine Rehabilitation

RRMOR specialises in the reuse of dewatered biosolids for mine site rehabilitation. Over the past 25 years we have managed many projects and rehabilitated over 500 hectares of open-cut coal-mines in the NSW Hunter Valley.

We have established working relationships with mine site managers, environmental officers and spreading contractors, and a number of mines have adapted their rehabilitation practices around the use of biosolids with outstanding results.

  • Liaising between biosolids generators and mining companies to develop sustainable projects

All NSW projects are managed in accordance with the NSW EPA Environmental Guidelines for the Use and Disposal of Biosolids Products (2001) and relevant state regulations.
