About Her05
The primary purpose of Her05 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 Florida Crushed Stone Co. (private). It impounds the Unnamed Pond near Brooksville.
The dam stands 16 feet tall and stretches 20,000 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 275 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 11,028 acre-feet.
