Built in 1967 by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 22 feet and has a storage capacity of 216 acre-feet. The dam controls the TR- LINE CREEK -OS stream and is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality.
Despite its age, the condition of Harrington Lake Dam is currently rated as "Not Rated" with an undetermined hazard potential. While the dam has an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, it has not been inspected recently, and its emergency action plan status is unknown. However, with a moderate risk assessment of 3, there is a need for ongoing risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam for both recreational and water resource purposes. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Harrington Lake Dam presents an interesting case study in the management and maintenance of aging infrastructure in the face of changing environmental conditions.
