About Panasoffkee Cdf-cell1
The primary purpose of Panasoffkee Cdf-cell1 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 Swfwmd (local government). It impounds the Withlacoochee near Rutland.
The dam stands 20 feet tall and stretches 8,200 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 180 acres, and has a maximum storage capacity of 2,975 acre-feet. Completed in 2004, the structure is relatively new.
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. The most recent inspection on record was 06/10/2005. That was over 21 years ago.
