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.
