The growing number of well sites in Alberta requiring reclamation is a pressing issue that requires a sustainable solution.
We provide a sustainable solution as part of the process to reclaim well sites with low impact phytoremediation strategies using proprietary varieties hemp and poplar trees for efficient and sustainable restoration of soil and groundwater.
Phytoremediation is a process of using plants to clean up contaminated soil and groundwater. This process is considered low impact as it avoids the use of harsh chemicals and heavy machinery, making it a more sustainable and eco-friendly option. The use of hemp and poplar trees in this process is unique and innovative, as these species are known for their ability to absorb and break down harmful contaminants such as heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and volatile organic compounds.
Hemp is a fast-growing and hardy plant that is able to absorb large amounts of contaminants from the soil and groundwater. It also has a deep root system that allows it to reach contaminated areas that other plants might not be able to. Poplar trees are also known for their ability to absorb and break down contaminants, and they are able to grow in a variety of soil conditions, making them ideal for use in phytoremediation projects.
The proprietary varieties of hemp and poplar used in this process have been specifically selected for their ability to efficiently and effectively remove contaminants from the soil and groundwater. This is a major advantage over traditional phytoremediation methods, as it allows for a faster and more thorough cleanup of the site.
In addition to cleaning up the soil and groundwater, these plants also have the added benefit of improving the overall health of the site. They help to restore the soil by adding organic matter and improving soil structure, and they also provide shade and habitat for wildlife. This is an important aspect of sustainable restoration, as it not only cleans up the site, but it also helps to create a healthy and thriving ecosystem.
Overall, the use of low impact phytoremediation strategies using proprietary varieties of hemp and poplar trees is an effective and sustainable solution for reclaiming orphaned and abandoned well sites.
