About Bradley Jxn 6

The primary purpose of Bradley Jxn 6 is tailings. Tailings dams contain waste material from mining operations — typically a slurry of finely ground rock left over after valuable minerals have been extracted. 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 Unnamed Pond near Mulberry.

The dam stands 105 feet tall and stretches 8,818 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 102 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 2,048 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 102 square miles.

This dam has a significant hazard potential classification, meaning that a failure could cause significant economic damage — flooding roads, bridges, or property downstream — but is not expected to result in loss of life.

At 105 feet, this dam is taller than 98% of all dams in the United States.
