PHC Reclamation, Inc. (PHC-REC) is a professional engineering firm who specializes in mining, environmental and reclamation consulting services. PHC-REC's services provide cost-effective, biologically and engineering based solutions for land reclamation and revegetation projects. As the recognized leader in the use of mycorrhizal fungi. PHC-REC utilizes their expertise for the successful establishment of vegetation on lands distressed by earthwork activities, such as mining and construction work, and by natural processes, such as extreme climatic and geographic location conditions found in arid and semi-arid regions.

PHC-REC's Mycorrhizae 
"Nature's Stress Manager"
Mine overburden and mine/mill waste material form highly stressed rooting environments. Conventionally planted seeds and seedlings often have high mortality rates and slow growth rates on these stressed sites. Why? The stressed soils of these sites contain few (if any) natural populations of mycorrhizal fungi. These fungi form a symbiotic relationship with their plant hosts to help the plants withstand the stresses of their environment. More than 99% of the Earth's land plants benefit from colonization of fine roots by mycorrhizal fungi.
The bottom line: Optimum plant life is not possible without mycorrhizae.

Pelletized VAM Fungal Spores
Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi establish beneficial symbiotic relationships with the fine roots of many trees, shrubs, flowers, grasses and agronomic crops. [click here for more VAM info]
PHC-REC's exclusive pelletized VAM fungal inoculants also resist dislocation by wind to better ensure plant establishment.
Mycorrhizal fungal technology allows PHC-REC to perform land reclamation in unique ways. We combine our superior mycorrhizal fungi/plant relationship with other natural soil system solutions such as microbial sciences, biosolids and water management technologies. These tools are selected and customized for specific site conditions. As a result, the newly introduced plants are healthier with larger, stronger and more viable root systems. Quick vegetation establishment produces increased plant survival, decreased soil erosion and reduced long-term maintenance. The net result is lower initial revegetation costs and significantly lower long-term maintenance costs.

PHC-REC's Innovative Pitter Technology
Unique to PHC-REC is the use of a Reclamation Pitter. the Pitter was developed specifically for reclamation of steep slopes, rocky terrain and other harsh working environments.

MycorTree Seedlings
Seedlings transplanted into mine overburden and mine and mill waste materials are immediately exposed to a highly stressed rooting environment. Many seedlings die and others routinely grow slowly. Research and development worldwide has proven the practical value of inoculating nursery-produced tree and shrub seedlings with superior species of beneficial mycorrhizal fungi.

Mine Reclamation
 Mine Waste Dumps:
Mitigate production of acidic water, stabilize dumps and reduce erosion, establish vegetation and return dumps to wildlife habitat use.
 Borrow Areas :
Eliminate dust hazards, mitigate erosion, return to beneficial use.
 Tailings Areas:
Eliminate dust hazards, mitigate erosion, establish wildlife habitat area.
