About Hil12
The primary purpose of Hil12 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 Turkey Creek Preserve, Llc. (private). It impounds the Unnamed Pond near Plant City.
The dam stands 32 feet tall and stretches 14,468 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 306 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 12,830 acre-feet.
At 32 feet, this dam is taller than 76% of dams nationwide.
