Completed in 1976, this earth dam stands at 16 feet tall and stretches 796 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
With a high hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment, Granada Lake poses risks that are managed through established measures. The reservoir is equipped with a controlled spillway and a valve outlet gate, and its emergency action plan (EAP) was last revised in May 2015. The region's Representative, Kendra S. Horn (D), oversees the area in the Tulsa District, where the reservoir contributes to the water supply for the community. Water and climate enthusiasts can find intrigue in the intricate design and management of Granada Lake, as well as the crucial role it plays in the local ecosystem and water infrastructure.
