About Man01
The primary purpose of Man01 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 Manatee County (local government). It impounds the Unnamed Pond near Palmetto.
The dam stands 8 feet tall and stretches 362 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 34 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 805 acre-feet.
