About Pond Spc-66
The primary purpose of Pond Spc-66 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 Walnut Creek Mining Company (private). It impounds the Tr-south Walnut Creek near Waco.
The dam stands 19 feet tall and stretches 6,800 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 80 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 1,130 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1 square miles. Completed in 2004, the structure is relatively new.
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. The most recent inspection on record was 07/08/2005. That was over 20 years ago.
