With a height of 25 feet and a hydraulic height of 20 feet, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water flow in the area. The dam has a storage capacity of 187 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 1630 cubic feet per second, with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate.
Despite being classified as low hazard potential with a very high risk assessment rating, Osborn Grant has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam has not been modified in recent years and undergoes inspection every 5 years, with the last inspection conducted in August 2011. The State of Oklahoma, specifically the OWRB, regulates, permits, inspects, and enforces compliance with state jurisdiction laws for the dam, ensuring its structural integrity and functionality for flood risk reduction purposes. Water resource and climate enthusiasts will be intrigued by the unique design and purpose of Osborn Grant, as well as the ongoing management and oversight efforts to maintain its safety and effectiveness.
