USACE, Buffalo District tested the velocity of the Niagara River at Broderick Park in Buffalo. Part of the project includes a future demonstration project of installing fish baffles along the breakwall in hopes of the slowing down the river’s velocity so the shiner will be able to swim back to Lake Erie after the spawning season.

Buffalo District strengthens a flood protection dike in Eastlake, Ohio in 1974. This project was part of Operation Foresight, a flood prevention program which saved communities over $100 million dollars.
HAPPENING NOW: Our field team was out today to inspect and help find solutions to fight high Lake Erie water levels along the Eastlake, Ohio shoreline.
We're taking FLIGHT with our new DRONE program! This preview shows off our Athol Springs shoreline protection project in Hamburg, NY.
We're engineering from the sky! Our shoreline protection project in Hamburg, NY looks great from a drone's-eye view.
This article talks about the uncertain future of the Great Lakes and our shoreline communities. Be sure we're here to help.
A single road near Lake Superior connects Michigan’s Keweenaw Bay Indian Community to the rest of the state. During major rains, debris like rocks and wood litter the route and cut off travel in and out.
We're LOCKED ON for another navigation season at the Black Rock Lock!

Follow Matt Greene, operations manager of Presque Isle State Park, PA, as he tours the shoreline on our annual beach walk. The beach walk helps us determine the placement of tons of sand to protect Erie Harbor, endangered species and over 4 million people who visit the park each year.
Black Rock Lock gate repairs are COMPLETE! Time to pat each other on the back (figuratively speaking) and grab an ice cold brew. The Lock is scheduled to reopen on May 9.

All major work within the Grand River has been completed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Buffalo District of the Harpersfield Dam Sea Lamprey Barrier project located on the Grand River, in the town of Geneva, Ohio, with funding through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and the non-federal partners, April 17, 2020. In partnership with the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, Ashtabula County Metro Parks, and Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Buffalo District has completed construction of a 326 ft solid concrete sea lamprey barrier that replaced the old hollow core dam structure within the Harpersfield Covered Bridge Park. https://www.lrb.usace.army.mil/Media/News-Releases/Article/2153950/primary-construction-work-completed-at-harpersfield-dam/ Ashtabula County Metroparks Great Lakes Fishery Commission U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Lower Great Lakes Fish & Wildlife Conservation Office
As part of our COVID-19 response efforts, we finished a facility assessment yesterday for potential alternate care facilities for COVID-19 patients in Pennsylvania. USACE has over 15,500 personnel engaged in the fight and we're working with the White House and Department of Defense, as well as Federal, state, and local partners to address possible medical facility shortages across the Nation.
During #EngineersWeek we learned a lot from our experts AND from the bright young minds we met! What do YOU want to learn about us?
What did we learn about our Dive Team during #EngineersWeek? "They go underwater...THEY GO UNDERWATER!" 😂😂😂
Our Dive Team is working diligently this week to clear debris from the path of the lower guard gates to aid in getting them to close. Some debris was found at the sill and removed. Once the gates are closed and the pump out of the chamber begins, the team will be back in the water to seal the gates and allow for de-watering of the lock chamber.
The revetment along Route 5 in Athol Springs clearly absorbs wave energy whereas the portion of exposed seawall that has not had revetment construction yet receives a direct impact and associated spray across Rte. 5. Construction will continue in summer 2020 to complete the revetment.

The #USACE, Buffalo District and Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, conducted their bi-annual beach walk October 29, 2019 at Presque Isle State Park in Erie, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the #walk was to check on the effectiveness of the 2019 #BeachNourishment Project and to set a baseline for the 2020 Beach Nourishment. The two organizations have worked together for the past 27 years to replenish the #sand on the beaches every year. This year, a record 74,000 cubic yards of sand was placed to replenish the beaches. #Buildstrong #movingdirt
Our new project will protect 40,000 motorists a day from the danger of Lake Erie reaching them on the road. U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand Senator Chuck Schumer Senator Chris Jacobs
We're using UNDERWATER ROBOTS to explore the water's deep. Remotely operated vehicles (ROV) allow us to safely collect data and repair our Nation's infrastructure.
The project manager of the Canandaigua Veteran Affairs project provides an update on the progress of the facility updates. The #USACE, Buffalo District and Louisville District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers through the Inter-agency and International Support (IIS)'s is in the midst of updating the medical clinic with a new outpatient clinic, a 120 bed Community living center and renovating several existing buildings. The Corps is honored to be a part of the team responsible for improving the infrastructure that provides vital services to veterans, our Nations’ heroes. #movingdirt #buildingstrong
Leave No Veteran Behind. Veterans courts deal exclusively with veterans, providing an alternative to the traditional court system. Buffalo’s was the first court of this kind in the country. #BuffaloDistrict #USACE
