About Conserv Retention Pond
The primary purpose of Conserv Retention Pond is tailings.

These structures require ongoing monitoring because tailings can contain heavy metals and other contaminants. The dam is owned by The Mosaic Company (private). It impounds the Thirtymile Creek near Mulberry.
The dam stands 23 feet tall, creates a reservoir covering 40 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 1,200 acre-feet.
An emergency action plan is in place for this dam. The most recent inspection on record was 08/30/2006. That was over 19 years ago.
