For more than three quarters of a century, the Omaha District has been serving the upper Midwest and the nation. The district boasts a boundary that includes 1,100 miles of the Continental Divide on the west and nearly 400 miles of the Canadian border on the north. It covers an area of about 700,000 square miles in the northern Great Plains. Currently, the district is executing a total program in excess of $1 billion—a historical peak—across its multiple mission areas in military construction, environmental remediation and rapid response programs, and civil works projects, including flood protection, navigation, hydropower, recreation, regulatory, recreation, flood damage control, coastal emergencies, and ecosystem restoration.
