About Har5
The primary purpose of Har5 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 16 feet tall and stretches 14,653 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 282 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 12,262 acre-feet.
