The dam, completed in 1964, stands at a height of 31 feet and has a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. It serves as a crucial structure along the TR-Washita River, managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB).
Despite being categorized as low hazard potential, Shaller No 1 poses a very high risk due to its structural vulnerabilities. Although it has not been rated for its current condition, the dam undergoes inspections every five years to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulatory requirements. The presence of a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate suggests a level of engineering sophistication to manage potential flood events.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts would find Shaller No 1 an intriguing subject of study, given its unique design features and historical significance in the region. The dam's location in Cheyenne, Oklahoma, and its association with the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers add layers of complexity to its management and regulatory oversight. As climate change continues to impact water resources, understanding the resilience of structures like Shaller No 1 becomes increasingly important for sustainable water management practices.
