About Har1
The primary purpose of Har1 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 Wauchula.
The dam stands 7 feet tall and stretches 17,718 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 456 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 13,669 acre-feet.
