The “Building Infrastructure, Not Paperwork” initiative enables the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District to focus on streamlining project development by applying the R.A.P.I.D. (Risk-Informed, Aligned, Proportional, Iterative, Decisive) Planning Framework. This concept is being utilized in the Chartiers Creek Study. In recent decades, the creek’s watershed has experienced frequent systemic flooding, increasing flood and life-safety risks to communities. The feasibility study will examine the approximately 277 square-mile area to evaluate possible flood-control management solutions and alternatives to reduce risk for the more than 250,000 residents living within the watershed.
The study is authorized under the 2022 Water Resources and Development Act (WRDA). Conducting it efficiently is part of the district’s core mission priorities, including modernizing business processes. Under the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works’ “Building Infrastructure, Not Paperwork” initiative, the project seeks to leverage data-driven intelligence and reduce red tape needed to deliver infrastructure for the nation.
