About Cit03
The primary purpose of Cit03 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 Duke Energy Florida, Inc. (private). It impounds the Unnamed Pond near Crystal River.
The dam stands 7 feet tall and stretches 4,535 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 24 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 261 acre-feet.
This dam has a significant hazard potential classification, meaning that a failure could cause significant economic damage — flooding roads, bridges, or property downstream — but is not expected to result in loss of life. An emergency action plan is in place for this dam.
