About Baltimore District

No other federal agency besides the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has played such a sweeping role in the development and growth of the nation in peace and in war. For more than 200 years, the Corps has supported the nation’s river-based commerce, protected established population centers, provided disaster response and constructed military facilities to protect our shores. Today, the 1,300 employees of the Baltimore District continue to serve the state of Maryland and the Nation as part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Headquartered adjacent to Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, the Baltimore District provides design, engineering, construction, environmental and real estate expertise to a variety of important projects and customers. This support spans across five states, the District of Columbia, overseas, and across the Susquehanna, Potomac, and Chesapeake Bay watersheds. Through strong partnerships with state and local agencies, Baltimore District has developed projects to restore damaged island habitats such as the Chesapeake Bay's Poplar Island and build multi-million dollar flood damage reduction projects in flood-prone areas of central Pennsylvania. With a surface area of 4,400 square miles and more than 7,000 miles of environmentally sensitive coastline, the Baltimore District remains an active partner in the effort to restore and protect the Chesapeake Bay.
