About Man03
The primary purpose of Man03 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 11 feet tall and stretches 4,883 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 30 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 1,664 acre-feet.
