Texasgulf tailings reservoir, Wyoming


Stark white fan into dark water marks the artificiality of this dumping site for mining waste---though not a recent one. Searching online, this appears to date from the 1970s, and the only recent mentions of it that I find are talking about its quality as fishing site and the potential peril to local communities if the aging and unmaintained earth dam should give way.
