Chartiers Creek extends 48 miles from Washington County downstream to the Ohio River. In recent decades, the creek’s watershed has experienced frequent flooding, increasing flood- and life-safety risks to communities.
The feasibility study is examining the approximately 277 square-mile area to evaluate possible flood risk management solutions and alternatives to reduce risk for the more than 250,000 residents living within the watershed.
Public input is vital to informing the study’s continuing development and ensuring the study is conducted efficiently. Comments will be considered for implementation and future study phases.
The Chartiers Creek Watershed Flood Risk Management General Investigation was authorized through WRDA 2022, Section 8021(a)(78). The study was fully-federally funded as part of the Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriation Act of 2025.
