Located near Fort McMurray in Alberta, Canada, the Syncrude Tailings Dam is approximately 540,000,000 meters in volume. The dam is currently maintained by a company known as Syncrude Canada Ltd - a company responsible for oil extraction in the Athabasca Oil Sands. The dam serves as a barrage used to store tailings - or leftover slimes and residues - that appear as byproducts of the oil extraction operation.
