About Tumco Dam Di-41
The primary purpose of Tumco Dam Di-41 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 Txu Mining Company Lp (private). It impounds the Boggy Branch.
The dam stands 28 feet tall and stretches 5,600 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 34 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 1,842 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 3 square miles.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life.
