About Panasoffkee Cdf-cell2
The primary purpose of Panasoffkee Cdf-cell2 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 21 feet tall and stretches 8,150 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 195 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 3,223 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 0 square miles. 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. The most recent inspection on record was 05/10/2005. That was over 20 years ago.
