Located in Labette County, Kansas, Dd No K-6 (Labette-Hackberry) is a local government-owned earth dam designed for flood risk reduction along the Labette Creek-TR. Standing at a height of 26 feet and stretching 900 feet in length, this dam has a storage capacity of 163.19 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 18.8 acre-feet. With a surface area of 4.52 acres and a drainage area of 0.52 square miles, Dd No K-6 plays a crucial role in managing water flow in the region.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, Dd No K-6 has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. The dam's condition has not been officially rated, and it has not undergone a recent inspection since October 2003. With an uncontrolled spillway type and no outlet gates, this dam is designed to handle moderate water flow but may require further risk management measures to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood risk reduction.

While Dd No K-6 currently meets the guidelines for emergency action plans, there is room for improvement in terms of updating contact information, preparing inundation maps, and implementing risk management measures. As climate change continues to impact water resources and weather patterns, it is essential for local governments to prioritize the maintenance and monitoring of critical infrastructure like Dd No K-6 to protect communities and ecosystems from potential flood risks in the future.
