About Pol15
The primary purpose of Pol15 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 Csx Corporation (private). It impounds the Unnamed Pond near Mulberry.
The dam stands 47 feet tall and stretches 12,940 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 167 acres, and has a storage capacity of 2,711 acre-feet.
At 47 feet, this dam is taller than 92% of dams nationwide.
