About Pol109
The primary purpose of Pol109 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 Mosaic Fertilizer Llc (private). It impounds the Unnamed Pond near Fort Meade.
The dam stands 23 feet tall and stretches 20,773 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 303 acres, and has a storage capacity of 10,653 acre-feet.
