About Pol10

The primary purpose of Pol10 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 Polk County (local government). It impounds the Unnamed Pond near Auburndale.

The dam stands 8 feet tall and stretches 4,702 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 59 acres, and has a storage capacity of 526 acre-feet.
