Salt water spills can mean big problems for the producers and well operators – from EPA difficulties, state regulatory agencies' concerns and, more importantly, unhappy landowners. Soil types, concentration of salt in the water, amount of spill, slope and nearby bodies of water all contribute to the problem. GrassRoots SuperSoil can help.
Due to its unusually high electrical charge, SuperSoil attracts the opposite charge of the sodium. When they bind, they are taken down through the soil profile, past the root zone, allowing for a quicker re-growth and happier agencies and landowners.
The advantages of using SuperSoil over traditional methods of clean-up:
1. Uses less clean water. While SuperSoil does need to be watered in, it doesn't need the massive amounts of fresh water that more traditional methods call for. The costs of truckloads of fresh water and continued tractor or bulldozer plowing continues to escalate.
2. Does not generally require more than one soil plowing. Once the soil is opened and the first application of SuperSoil has been made, it may not have to be done again. Soil type, slope and salt concentrations will dictate the amount of SuperSoil needed.
3. Independent testing proves SuperSoil works. Check out research information and photos for all the test results.
4. SuperSoil works well in rocky soils. Because SuperSoil is a liquid, it can be applied in surface and subsurface rocky environments. If the soil surface cannot be tilled, a penetrant can be added to SuperSoil, making good penetration possible.
5. SuperSoil works on slopes. When equipment cannot get into the spill area because of the slope, SuperSoil can still be applied and work its way into the soil.
6. SuperSoil will probably cost you less than anything else you do in the clean-up process. Water flushing, tilling the soil, and soil removal are all very expensive and time-consuming.
7. SuperSoil will probably work faster than most remediation methods. Faster results cost you less money and give you happier landowners.
8. SuperSoil is a soil amendment and no license is required to apply it.
9. Even if re-applications are necessary, SuperSoil is still cheaper than any other option.
10. SuperSoil is environmentally-friendly and will not build up in the soil.
11. After clean-up, Francis Resources will test the soil prior to re-planting and will help with recommendations to landowners for properly replanting the affected areas. Testing the soil will prevent wasting time and money. Our soil biologist who specializes in remediation will make recommendations tailored to fit the circumstances and the grass type the landowner is requesting.
