About Hil21

The primary purpose of Hil21 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 Plant City.

The dam stands 51 feet tall and stretches 18,842 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 497 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 29,947 acre-feet.

At 51 feet, this dam is taller than 93% of dams nationwide.
