Our District

Today, in addition to our more traditional roles in flood control and navigation, the Huntington District is involved in a broad spectrum of engineering and engineer support activities. These activities include work for the Bureau of Prisons in eastern Kentucky in the form of support for real-estate acquisition, construction, and contract management; relocating the business district of Grundy, Virginia, and Town of Martin, Kentucky out of the floodplain; designing and constructing sewage treatment plants in southern West Virginia; planning, designing and constructing river-front parks in West Virginia; planning, engineering, and designing erosion-control treatments for Ohio River islands and for stream banks adjacent to public lands and facilities throughout the region. The District is working with the Department of Energy’s National Energy Technology Laboratory, located in Morgantown, West Virginia in connection with the environmental clean-up of nuclear-waste sites, and to demonstrate innovative environmental-restoration technologies. The District's also working with the Environmental Protection Agency, by providing oversight for environmental restoration efforts at contaminated sites throughout West Virginia and Ohio.
