The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Louisville District is working in partnership with the City of Loveland to find the best possible solutions to address erosion and unstable streambank concerns within the area.
USACE is currently conducting a study, which is in the Feasibility Phase where data is gathered to determine is gathered to determine possible alternatives.
The purpose of the Feasibility Study is to investigate a cost-effective and environmentally acceptable means to prevent active erosion at three sites along the Little Miami River that is threatening public infrastructure in the City of Loveland. The project aims to prevent the erosion from negatively impacting critical public infrastructure, a public road (East Kemper Road), which provides access to local residents, school buses, and emergency responders. Additionally, streambank erosion has impacted the adjacent roadway infrastructure and, as a result, vehicle occupant safety and utility lines. The goal of the project is to reduce current risks to public infrastructure and the life and safety of residents.
