About Pol43
The primary purpose of Pol43 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 Fort Meade.
The dam stands 14 feet tall and stretches 12,809 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 174 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 11,017 acre-feet.
