Harriman Dam is a hydroelectric dam in Windham County, Vermont in the town of Whitingham. The water from the dam flows through a penstock to a power generation plant in the adjacent town of Readsboro.
The dam was built in 1923 by the New England Power Company.[1] Some 215 feet (66 m) high and 1,250 feet (380 m) long as its crest, it is one of ten hydroelectric dams impounding the Deerfield River.[2] It was purchased from the TransCanada Corporation in 2017 by Great River Hydro LLC, which currently operates the facility.[3] It is an earthen dam with a relatively unusual concrete "glory hole" (freestanding conical drain) spillway, similar to another example at Monticello Dam in California.[4]
Harriman Reservoir
Harriman Reservoir has a water surface area of 2,039 acres (825 ha), a maximum depth of 180 feet (55 m), and a gross storage capacity of 117,300 acre-feet (144.7 million cubic metres).[2]
The dam and reservoir were named in recognition of utility executive Henry I. Harriman, a former president of the New England Power Company.
