About Pol53
The primary purpose of Pol53 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 Mosaic Fertilizer Llc (private). It impounds the Unnamed Pond near Mulberry.
The dam stands 25 feet tall and stretches 4,903 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 32 acres, and has a storage capacity of 3,174 acre-feet.
