Completed in 1984, the dam stands at a height of 25 feet and is primarily used for purposes other than flood control or water supply. Despite its low hazard potential, the risk assessment categorizes Muir David as having a very high risk level, indicating the need for careful monitoring and management.
The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in December 2010. It features a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot and an outlet gate controlled by a single valve. Although the condition of the dam is currently rated as "Not Rated," there are no emergency action plans (EAP) in place, suggesting potential areas for improvement in emergency preparedness and risk mitigation strategies.
Located on TR Stillwater Creek within the Tulsa District, Muir David is surrounded by a surface area of 6 acres and serves as a critical infrastructure for water resource management in the region. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams like Muir David becomes increasingly vital for ensuring the safety and sustainability of water supplies in the face of evolving environmental challenges.
