Connect the rope to one eyelet of the raft. Secure the eye pulley to the eyelet of each stake. Place an eyelet stake on each end of the pond on the shore. Mine waste is notorious for its highly abrasive qualities which can quickly destroy pumps. Using the chain and clamps, connect the pump to the raft so the pump touches the bottom of the pond. To do this effectively, you will need a dredge pump with enough power and toughness to withstand corrosive and abrasive material with heavy solids. Periodically, these large ponds must be cleaned and dredged.

In the mining industry, Mature fine tailings ponds, or MFT ponds are large pools of liquid, sludge, and mine tailings where large mines store their unwanted material. Industrial lagoons act like open-air settling tanks which can are prone to reaching or exceeding original design capacity and require maintenance dredging to maintain optimal efficiency. Over time sediment and sludge accumulate at the bottom of the lagoon causing an unsightly appearance and odor, requiring dredging to maintain the pond. Target materials in lagoons vary in consistency and abrasiveness.

Lagoons are commonly used for municipal wastewater treatment and other industries such as dairy processing, fracking, vineyards, and crop processing. Lagoons are classified as shallow bodies of water, separate from the ocean or larger bodies of water.
