Stockpile soil and stockpile erosion management

Prevent Stockpile Deterioration, Ensure EPA Compliance, and Avoid Health Risks

Piles of coal, ore, salt, sulfur, limestone and other aggregates bring with them multiple stockpile management concerns. Potentially toxic runoff and windblown particles find their way into the soil and then into surface and groundwater supplies, posing a threat to water supplies, aquatic life, and vegetation. Those working at and near sites requiring better stockpile dust suppression are subject to poor visibility and compromised respiratory systems. Vehicle maintenance costs climb as performance plummets when dust infiltrates engines, tire bases and other mechanical parts.

Midwest’s stockpile management will enable you to:

  • Prevent fugitive dust and particle runoff
  • Ensure compliance with increasingly stringent regulatory environments
  • Prevent moisture content from increasing
  • Eliminate dangerous PM10 and PM2.5 emissions

A stronger polymer
Sealing stockpiles to prevent fugitive dust and particle runoff is the single most effective way to curb not only storm-water problems but also other stockpile management issues including self heating and combustion, erosion, and storm-water runoff. Stronger than other polymers on the market and more environmentally sound than other sealing methods, Midwest’s certified and proven stockpile sealant – Soil-Sement® – provides a solid seal that prevents moisture content from increasing and keeps deterioration from having its way.

The environmental perspective
You can rest assured that Midwest will keep you in compliance with the increasingly stringent guidelines set forth by the EPA and other regulatory agencies. Dangerous PM10 and PM2.5 emissions will no longer be a concern. Your work environment will be cleaner and healthier, and stockpile management will help you maintain good neighbor status by reducing dust emissions that are both a nuisance and health issue to nearby businesses and residences.
