Franktown Parker Fpe-6 is a flood risk reduction structure located in El Paso County, Colorado, along the East Cherry Creek-Triver. Built in 1964 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet, with a hydraulic height of 29 feet and a structural height of 32 feet. It has a length of 900 feet and a storage capacity of 366 acre-feet, serving the primary purpose of flood risk reduction.

With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of April 2018, Franktown Parker Fpe-6 is regulated by the Colorado Department of Water Resources. Despite its high risk assessment level of 2, the structure has not undergone any modifications in recent years, and its emergency action plan (EAP) status is unclear. The dam's location in a high-risk area underscores the importance of ongoing monitoring and risk management measures to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and water resources.

While Franktown Parker Fpe-6 currently meets regulatory standards and has a history of satisfactory performance, its high risk assessment level and lack of recent updates to its emergency action plan call for continued vigilance in monitoring and maintaining this essential flood risk reduction structure. As climate change and extreme weather events increase the pressure on water resource infrastructure, ensuring the resilience and effectiveness of dams like Franktown Parker Fpe-6 is crucial for protecting communities and ecosystems from the impacts of flooding.
