Hello,
              We are investigating the use of polymers to reduce infiltration
into mineralised waste rock at a mine site. The rocks   are  chloritic schists
which weather rapidly. The surface is compacted with an impact roller and the
surface texture is a sandy loam with about 50 % rock fragments. I am interested
in any experience people have using PAM, PVA or other products to reduce
infiltration.

Thankyou
