The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District (USACE) and COG are undertaking a coastal flood risk study to support resilient communities in Northern Virginia within the Middle Potomac River watershed. A draft Integrated Feasibility Report and Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared to determine whether the implementation of coastal storm risk management measures would reduce coastal flood risk to critical public and private infrastructure along the west bank of the Potomac River in Northern Virginia.

The report is open for public comment, which has been extended through July 31. USACE and COG held an in-person public meeting and virtual meeting in June. To view the report and submit a public comment, please visit the USACE study website.
