About Cs 10
The primary purpose of Cs 10 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 Clear Springs Development (private). It impounds the Peace River near Bartow.
The dam stands 25 feet tall and stretches 6,335 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 194 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 1,700 acre-feet. Completed in 2002, 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.
