Description:   Waste materials have high pH levels, low water storage capacities, high rates of weathering and low nutrient contents.  Methods used to ameliorate waste dumps include mulches and mineral fertilizers. The FRISOL method consists of analyzing the site and the soil, and then selecting a suitable seed mixture.  Soil biology, mineralogy, pH, natural vegetation, and water and nutrient availability were considered.
