About Pol12
The primary purpose of Pol12 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 Bowling Green.
The dam stands 7 feet tall and stretches 23,199 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 517 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 12,157 acre-feet.
