Mine Reclamation

Trihydro helps our clients navigate the mine reclamation process to transform mine-impacted lands back into healthy, productive ecosystems. In the past decade, we’ve helped clients achieve final permit closure for multiple mine sites. Backed by 40 years of environmental and engineering expertise, Trihydro’s in-house technical specialists create stable land surfaces, establish vegetation, and monitor water quality so sites meet their intended future use.

Trihydro uses advanced technology to enhance design accuracy, construction tracking, and performance monitoring, providing high-resolution data that supports informed decision-making and efficient site evaluation. Our tools include UAS (drone) data collection, LiDAR-based surface modeling, GIS and spatial analysis, and 3D visualization and volume tracking.

Our clients rely on us for complete mine reclamation support at both hard rock and coal mining operations. With decades of experience in mine closure and land restoration, we understand the technical, regulatory, and environmental challenges associated with reclaiming active sites. We work within existing permit frameworks and provide support in developing and updating reclamation strategies to align with changing regulations and site conditions.

Our capabilities include:

Permitting and compliance
Monitoring and reporting
Land grading and geomorphic design
Water management
Vegetation establishment

Trihydro Point of Contact

GREGG OSLAND

Senior Vice President

Since 2000, Trihydro has partnered with Abandoned Mine Land (AML) programs across the United States to assess, design, and support the remediation of hundreds of hazardous legacy mine sites. Our work focuses on addressing safety hazards, improving environmental quality, and restoring landscapes impacted by historic mining activities. Drawing from decades of experience and best practices across state and federal AML programs, we develop site-specific, cost-effective solutions that emphasize long-term stability, public safety, and environmental protection. Our multidisciplinary team brings technical expertise and field-tested strategies to each phase of AML project implementation, from site assessment through construction oversight.

Our capabilities include:

Site assessment and characterization
Natural landform design
Erosion and sediment control
Stream and habitat restoration
Mine opening closures
Water quality management
Mine fire control
