Built in 1974 by Greenhorne and O'Mara, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 34 feet and spans a length of 625 feet, with a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet. The primary purpose of this dam is for recreation, providing a surface area of 5.3 acres for leisure activities.
Despite being regulated by the Maryland Dam Safety agency, Heritage Harbour has a low hazard potential and is currently in fair condition. Inspected every 5 years, the dam's last assessment in April 2021 deemed it to be in satisfactory shape. With a controlled spillway width of 20 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 300 cubic feet per second, the dam poses a moderate risk level of 3 but is equipped with emergency action plans to ensure public safety in case of any unforeseen events. As a significant infrastructure for the local community, Heritage Harbour serves as a vital recreation area while upholding safety and environmental standards set by state regulations.
