This dam serves a crucial role in regulating the flow of water for the tributary to Anderson Creek and the Arkansas River, with a storage capacity of 53.4 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 12.5 cubic feet per second. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a very high risk level, necessitating regular inspections and potential risk management measures.
Managed by the OWRB in Oklahoma, Oknoname 30236 is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, its last inspection in December 2010 revealed a need for frequent oversight, with inspections scheduled every 5 years. The surrounding area of Prattville benefits from this dam's presence, as it helps mitigate the risk of flooding and ensures a steady water supply for the local community. Despite its unassuming appearance, Oknoname 30236 plays a vital role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the region.
