About Pol101
The primary purpose of Pol101 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 20,387 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 516 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 15,492 acre-feet.
