About Hil13
The primary purpose of Hil13 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 University Energy Park, Llc. (private). It impounds the Unnamed Pond near Plant City.
The dam stands 16 feet tall and stretches 12,181 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 137 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 6,669 acre-feet.
