About Hil17
The primary purpose of Hil17 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.

It impounds the Unnamed Pond near Plant City.
The dam stands 8 feet tall and stretches 9,419 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 60 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 7,728 acre-feet.
