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.
