Managed by the Oregon Water Resources Department, Harrison Dam is state-regulated, inspected, and enforced for compliance. With its significant hazard potential, the dam is equipped with a slide (sluice gate) outlet gate and undergoes regular inspections every three years. While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, its emergency action plan status and risk management measures are yet to be fully assessed and documented.
In the event of a potential emergency, stakeholders in the area must ensure that the necessary protocols and guidelines are in place to address any risks associated with the dam's operation. As a vital resource for irrigation in Jackson County, Oregon, the Harrison Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources and supporting agricultural activities in the region.
