About Pol105

The primary purpose of Pol105 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 Fort Meade.

The dam stands 11 feet tall and stretches 22,410 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 429 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 44,815 acre-feet.
