A Barragem Campo Grande foi iniciada nos anos 90 com uma barragem de terra compactada, homogênea, com filtro vertical de areia e dreno de fundo, com finalidade de retenção de lamas do processo de beneficiamento mineral da mineradora Samitri, já que a vida útil da pilha de disposição de estéril do Xingu, também na Mina Alegria, estava se aproximando do seu final.

: But estéril is a noun and barren is an adjective.//The mine is not barren. It's one of the biggest iron ore deposits in the world. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alegria_mine
