About Pol106
The primary purpose of Pol106 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 7 feet tall and stretches 18,812 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 555 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 29,167 acre-feet.
