About Pol42
The primary purpose of Pol42 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 U.s. Agri - Chem (private). It impounds the Unnamed Pond near Fort Meade.
The dam stands 24 feet tall and stretches 7,605 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 63 acres, and has a storage capacity of 1,055 acre-feet.
