Constructed in 1993 by Ardurman & Associates, this earth dam stands at a height of 55 feet and has a hydraulic height of 50 feet, with a storage capacity of 35,500 acre-feet. The dam serves the primary purpose of storing tailings and is regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.
With a significant hazard potential and a very high risk assessment rating, Mosaic Csa Fc2c is subject to regular inspections, state jurisdiction, permitting, and enforcement. The dam has a controlled spillway with a width of 128 feet and a maximum discharge of 640 cubic feet per second. Although the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam's structural height of 57 feet and length of 14,437 feet make it a crucial component of water resource management in the region.
As part of the water infrastructure in Hillsborough County, Florida, Mosaic Csa Fc2c plays a vital role in flood control and water supply management. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, its location, design, and purpose highlight the importance of sustainable water resource practices in the face of climate change and increasing water demand in the region.
