About Pol49
The primary purpose of Pol49 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 City Of Lakeland (local government). It impounds the Unnamed Pond near Mulberry.
The dam stands 36 feet tall and stretches 5,924 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 26 acres, and has a storage capacity of 398 acre-feet.
At 36 feet, this dam is taller than 83% of dams nationwide.
