About Hil19
The primary purpose of Hil19 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 The Mosaic Company (private). It impounds the Unnamed Pond near Plant City.
The dam stands 20 feet tall and stretches 8,219 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 91 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 2,440 acre-feet.
